In the city of flowers, anything is possible, but nothing is real.

In Kamali's hometown, everything is made of her magic. Every home, every plant, and even the sun are part of an illusion her family cast a century prior to protect the city from the royal family. As the last illusionist in town, she's entrusted with keeping this magic alive—and keeping it a secret. However, her powers are running out and draining her life energy. She only has a couple years left to live, and King Aleksander is looking for her. When his army searches the streets and attacks innocent civilians to find the source of Kamali's magic, she knows it's time to fight back.

If she wants to protect herself and her people, she must kill the king before her powers run out.

But the king has secrets too. Though his family has killed magicians over the years, the young king depends on the town's remaining magic to survive. When Princess Saira marries into the royal family, she soon realizes Aleksander is only taking advantage of her and her powers are all he needs. But Saira is running a con game: she's no magician at all—in fact, she's not even a real princess—and before her true identity is exposed, she must uncover the king's secrets and decide whose side she's really on.

Vivian Sader is an author by day, a flight attendant by night and a digital artist in her free time. And, of course, she’s an absolute delight.

She spends most of her days self-isolating in airport hotels and developing marketing plans for books yet to be written. She wrote her debut novel in 37 countries and in over 62 different hotels. The first line was written in Italy and the last edits were made in Cyprus. She always knows where she wrote and edited each scene.

Her other hobbies include binge-watching anime, drinking milk and making people laugh.

Though she was made in Hungary, she lives in Austria now, and in whatever imaginary world she’s currently creating.

YA Story of Magic from alternating POV

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 14, 2022

A Curse of Illusions has magic, politics, complex relationships, and realistic personalities. Kamali suffers using her magic to keep the illusion of her hometown whole, in an inherited self-imposed social contract that no one in the city is aware of. Saira struggles with knowing herself while deceiving the royal family into believing she is a princess and magician. The young king needs magic to maintain his rule, but chooses violence rather than trying to work with the few magicians he hasn't already hunted down. Each character has their own motivations for the choices they make that the reader may or may not agree with at a given point with the information known at that time. There's action, trickery, awkward interactions, self-sacrifice, self-serving sacrifice of others, backstabbing, front-stabbing, secrets, twists, mistakes, teamwork... The alternation between POV is well used, and paced in such a way that those with short attention spans or limited, broken up time to read can enjoy the book at their preferred pace. The writer's voice is well suited to YA.
