I was sent this book from Book Look Bloggers. My ratings and reviews will be my own
personal opinions and are in no way influenced by publishers or authors who may

Synopsis:
"Thomas Fawkes is turning to stone, and the only cure to the Stone Plague is to join his father’s plot to assassinate the king of England.
Silent wars leave the most carnage. The wars that are never declared, but are carried out in dark alleys with masks and hidden knives. Wars where color power alters the natural rhythm of 17th century London. And when the king calls for peace, no one listens until he finally calls for death.
But what if death finds him first?
Keepers think the Igniters caused the plague. Igniters think the Keepers did. But all Thomas knows is that the Stone Plague infecting his eye is spreading. And if he doesn’t do something soon, he’ll be a lifeless statue. So when his Keeper father, Guy Fawkes, invites him to join the Gunpowder Plot—claiming it will put an end to the plague—Thomas is in.
The plan: use 36 barrels of gunpowder to blow up the Igniter King.
The problem: Doing so will destroy the family of the girl Thomas loves. But backing out of the plot will send his father and the other plotters to the gallows. To save one, Thomas will lose the other.
No matter Thomas’s choice, one thing is clear: once the decision is made and the color masks have been put on, there’s no turning back."
MY REVIEW:
My Rating: No Rating: DNF
Format: Hardback
Format: Hardback
First off, this cover will pull you
in before knowing what this story is even about. It is gorgeous!
This one is hard for me to talk
about. I started reading it one night
and I was intrigued about Thomas story.
I really did not care for all of the information around colors, but I
wanted to see what happened with Thomas journey to find his father. There was just something about this story
that I loved and other things I just did not like. I found myself wanting to
DNF this, but also wanting to keep reading.
I know that probably does not make sense, but it is how I felt as the
story went on. I ended up giving up
around half way through. This was just
not for me.
