Shimmer and Burn by Mary Taranta

Summary: "To save her sister's life, Faris is tasked with smuggling magic into a plague-ridden neighboring kingdom." 



The magic and plot-lines of this story are astonishingly convoluted. I didn't understand how the magic worked in the slightest, which made most of the plot murky and confusing. The confusion led to a disinterest in the characters, as well as minimal reactions to "exciting" events or reveals because I didn't get it. At all. 

Would not recommend.
