Can I just say I loved this book? This is my first New Adult novel. It covers and interesting time in all our lives whether mystical or human. It's that transition from the carefree life of being under your parents' or guardians' roof and being thrust into the world to fend for ourselves, finally learning that we don't know everything.King Hall maps the journey of four up and coming prodigies who will become kings and queens of their respective mystical communities. In this unique and interesting world, vampires, mages, elementals, and shifters co-exist with humans. We learn of the dynamics of each of the groups and the politics of their interactions with one another. The four prodigies - Lily, Erza, Jack, and Pearl are forced together to train for their new positions, but builds a strong friendship which enhances their abilities as rulers, but is scrutinized by others surrounding them since intermingling with other groups is frowned upon.Reviewer: ViviReview Source: NetGalleyAll the characters are layered and reveals themselves throughout the book. I loved Lily's character. She acquires the position of shifter prodigy through tragic circumstances. She has a dysfunctional background and holds a secret that can get her killed. Although she's very different from the other mysticals, she has a strength inside her that gives her presence. She struggles to truly embrace that strength throughout the book, thinking her difference may be a weakness. But as she continues to learn more about herself and with the support of the other three prodigies, she blossoms into an remarkable young female.If you're looking for a book filled with action, amazing characters, and strong writing, I highly recommend King Hall by Scarlett Dawn. Only negative is it ends in a cliffhanger. Now, I must get the next book to see what happens next.
