The Mesmerist by Claire Luana – Review by Netania Lim

The Mesmerist by Claire Luana
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I generally enjoyed this coming-of-age fantasy/mystery. The world-building was great, there were elements of mystery that made the novel more suspenseful, and I liked the main character Adrijana. Although this is marketed as young adult, I think it should be noted that there is a sexual assault and it seemed to just serve the plot. Anyhow, Adrijana is a strong, complex character who develops immensely throughout the novel, and I just really didn’t know who to trust. Read this if you like a lot of intense intrigue and political machinations.
