Review: In a Garden Burning Gold

In a Garden Burning Gold by Rory Power
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Rhea knows her duty.  She must choose a consort who will ensure a prosperous season and then she must kill them.  This is how it must be … or is it?  An independence movement is taking root in their country and the power her father once had is diminishing.  They have power over the seasons, tides, and the stars, but do they have the power to keep their country intact? 

In a Garden Burning Gold is the first book in the Argyrosi series.  This is a fantasy series that includes a lot of world-building, but it is this same complex world that makes the storyline so captivating.  Rhea must face family deception head-on as she becomes her own person instead of the power wielded by her father.  Power has created a story that has the potential to be an epic adventure as the characters learn their strengths and overcome the many obstacles set before them.  In a Garden Burning Gold is the first book and readers will finish wanting to know what happens next.
