Shift of Shadow and Soul by Hilary ThompsonMy rating: 2 of 5 stars
Synopsis:
There are three kinds of magic in the world, and Corentine has the wrong one.
Long ago, the Restless King forced Corentine’s people into hiding as he scoured their blood for the SoulShifter. When Corentine learns she possesses some of the forbidden Shifter magic, she must hide her power or risk the same death her twin suffered.
Raised to trust no-one, she rejects the General’s son Sy, until she realizes his family secrets might be the key to unlocking hers. When his brother turns against them, they are forced to fight family to save what’s left of their home, or accept banishment to find a new future.
If Coren and Sy can’t convince their people to accept the light of Shifter magic, the growing Shadow will ruin everyone’s chance of freedom.
Travel this richly imagined world with a diverse cast that readers have compared to fantasy favorites like Sarah J Maas and Leigh Bardugo.

My Thoughts:
Cover/Title: The title and cover is what drew me in. I really thought I would like this book.Characters: Honestly, I didn't like the characters. I couldn't connect with them at all.
Plot: The story just annoyed me. The whole book talks about how they want to get their magic back but anyone that is caught using magic is banished. That just doesn't make any sense to me.
Overall: I couldn't get interested in the book. The characters annoyed me and I just wasn't interested. This book was definitely not for me.
