Week 49 Review: Twin Daggers

From Goodreads:
Aissa's life is a web of carefully constructed lies. She and her twin sister, Zandria, are Magi spies, a magical people most believe to be extinct. And they're on a mission for revenge. 

This action and adventure spy thriller—a fantasy spin on "Romeo and Juliet" from New York Times bestselling author MarcyKate Connolly—is perfect for fans of Marissa Meyer and Elly Blake and is about to become your new obsession!

By day, Aissa and Zandra play the role of normal young Technocrats eager to fulfill the duties of their new apprenticeships. By night, they plot their revenge to retake their city from the Technocrats. But then Aissa is given a new mission: find and kidnap the heir to the Technocrat throne, who is rumored to be one of the Heartless—a person born without a working heart who survives via a mechanical replacement—and has been hidden since birth.

Aissa is more likely to be caught than to be successful, but she's never been one to turn down an assignment, even if the hunt is complicated by a kind Technocrat researcher who is determined to find a cure for the Heartless. But when Zandria is captured by the Technocrats, Aissa will do anything to get her sister back. Even if it means abandoning all other loyalties and missions … and risking everything by trusting her sworn enemies.

My Review:
I had a great time reading this book. The world was so great, I loved reading about the hidden Magi, and the Technocrats. It was such an interesting world, and there were some really great characters that populated it! 

As this is a fictional world, and so I'm not a Technocrat or a Magi, well, it was easy to see some of the prejudices. Each side basically thought the other was evil. And that's just not true. Sure, both sides had evil members, but there's good and bad in both sides. Even if Aissa couldn't see that, because she's in it, it was there. 

Aissa did have a journey in this book, I loved watching her striving to complete her mission, and getting to know Aro, to fall in love. To see what the curse the caused the Heartless really does. It showed her that the Technocrats do have humanity, and that was a great step forward, and I loved it! 

I did have a suspicion about Aro, there were some hints that things weren't what they seemed. But Aissa also had secrets, even ones about herself that she didn't know, why she and her sister are more powerful than other Magi. So that was great to read! 

But that ending? Oh, man, it was so fantastic! I love where these characters are, there is hope for the future, but there's also a lot of threats, and I can't wait to see them face it down, it's going to be so exciting and entertaining! 

This was such a great book, I really enjoyed it, and I can't wait for the sequel!
