Incarnate by Jodi Meadows

5.0

This book was REFRESHING. I prefer to read YA fantasy, and the genre feels so stagnant lately. Recycled storylines, unrealistic romances, poor editing... I was just about to give up hope when I came across this book. I couldn't put it down and read it in pretty much one sitting.

Very well written, well paced, well rounded secondary characters, good character development, excellent world building. The relationship between Sam and Ana was beautifully done in my opinion. I hate the insta-love crap that I've been reading far too much of lately. The whole concept of the reincarnations and the way the culture was built around it was very interesting to me. I've read complaints about the character of Ana, especially in the beginning of the novel, but coming from vaguely similar upbringing I found the defensiveness of her nature understandable, believable, and relatable.

Overall, I am very impressed with this book and am very much looking forward to picking up the sequel. :)
