Ignite the Sun by Hanna Howard
3.0

The kingdom of Umbraz is ruled by an evil witch who fears and despises the sun. She has deemed the sun and all magical beings as evil, and has set out to destroy them, including Siria, the last sunchild - a nymph who can harness the powers of the sun and who might be the key to bringing the sun back to the kingdom.

On a whole I enjoyed the story, particularly the many magical beings and the fascinating lore surrounding them. I only wish that was explored further, I would have loved to know more about the mythology of this world.

I felt the characters lacked depth and weren't properly sketched out. I could not connect to and relate to any of the characters, especially the MC. Another thing that ticked me off was how the MC always conveniently fainted whenever some tension arises. This takes away from the adrenaline rush these type of scenes generally bring.
