ARC provided in exchange for honest review.
I enjoyed reading this book because it's not what you would expect and each time you think you've gotten it figured out, something changes to throw you a bit. It turns out that, even in fantasy, not everyone is redeemable. Sometimes, there are simply factors that cause people to be lost from us. Yes, this title probably refers the THE 'lost soul' of Echena, but I wonder if the author meant it to apply to more than one character in her novel, as many of them are 'lost' in one way or another....
The development of the lead character throughout the novel was inspiring. She goes from a 16 year old, sheltered schoolgirl to this independent, strong, and capable lady of the land and leader of what the establishment considers a rebellion. However, it all becomes clearly a battle for human rights once you get into it. I won't go into much more because that would spoil it! I will say, though, I love her companions and that they are very atypical.
I'm looking forward to reading book 2 in the series: The Oracle. The ending of The Lost Soul sets up a whole lot of action to occur in the next installment.
