Synopsis:
Anna was never supposed to exist. Born of a forbidden union between the Queen and the tyrannical King’s archnemesis, Anna is forced to live out her days isolated in the Tower, with only her mentors and friends the Hermit, the Fool, and the Magician to keep her company. To pass the time, Anna imagines unique worlds populated by creatives and dreamers—the exact opposite of the King’s land of fixed fates and rigid rules—and weaves them into four glorious tapestries.
But on the eve of her sixteenth birthday and her promised release from the Tower, Anna discovers her true lineage: She’s the daughter of Marco, a powerful magician, and the King is worried that his magical gifts are starting to surface in Anna. Fearing for her life, Anna flees the Tower and finds herself in Cups, a lush, tropical land full of all the adventure, free-spiritedness, and creativity she imagined while weaving.
Anna thinks she’s found paradise in this world of beachside parties, endless food and drink, and exhilarating romance. But when the fabric of Cups begins to unravel, Anna discovers that her tapestries are more than just decoration. They’re the foundation for a new world that she is destined to create—as long as the terrors from the old world don’t catch up with her first.

I was very excited about this book when I first read the synopsis and I'm happy to say I ended up loving the story as much as I had hoped I would.
The story follows Anna, a girl who has been trapped in a tower for as long as she can remember. The only company she has are her friends and mentors; The Hermit, The Magician, and The Fool. The day before her release from the tower she discovers her true lineage; she is the daughter of a powerful magician.
Anna was a wonderful character. I really enjoyed her story and her path into finding her 'true self'. I do think she recovered pretty quickly considering she had been locked inside a tower for sixteen years. My favourite character was the magician and I would have loved to have read even more about the character.
The setting of the book was beautifully described and very picturesque. I would love to learn even more about the world of Cups. The author did a fantastic job at making the world come across as being full of magic and mystery.
The author has done a wonderful job at taking the mystery of Tarot to create a story full of well developed-characters and a captivating setting.
I flew through this book and I personally would have liked it to have been a little longer. Some parts seemed a little rushed and I felt that it ended a little abruptly. However, I cannot wait to see where the story leads in the next book and I'm looking forward to finding out what happens to all of the characters.
Marissa Kennerson is a wonderful writer who has created a story that almost feels like a fairy-tale. I loved this book and I didn't want it to end. I look forward to seeing what the author comes up with next.
