I am Henrietta Howel. The first female sorcerer in hundreds of years. The prophesied one. Or am I?

Henrietta Howel can burst into flames. Forced to reveal her power to save a friend, she's shocked when instead of being executed, she's invited to train as one of Her Majesty's royal sorcerers.

Thrust into the glamour of Victorian London, Henrietta is declared the chosen one, the girl who will defeat the Ancients, bloodthirsty demons terrorizing humanity. She also meets her fellow sorcerer trainees, handsome young men eager to test her power and her heart. One will challenge her. One will fight for her. One will betray her.

But Henrietta Howel is not the chosen one. As she plays a dangerous game of deception, she discovers that the sorcerers have their own secrets to protect. With battle looming, what does it mean to not be the one? And how much will she risk to save the city—and the one she loves?

Hi guys! Hope everyone's having a great end of year holidays! Let me just say Merry Christmas for those of you reading this who are celebrating and Happy New Year for those of you reading this in 2017 because this post will be up in exactly December 31st Indonesian time of course! I can't believe 2016 is almost over and 2017 is just mere days away, time really does flew by. 2016 has been a year of highs and lows in terms of reading for me because I didn't find a lot of books that I read and loved or absolutely liked. Most were just "okay", so before the year ends and as the title of this post implies I'm going to show you my top books of 2016.

I decided to do six books only because as I've said before, I didn't read a lot of amazing books this year so making this list wasn't that hard for me because I can count with my fingers how many books that I really adored this year. Also because 6 and 2016 just sounds great together. Without further ado, let's just get to it!

Ditengah maraknya tren penulisan fiksi yang kian berkutat pada cerita-cerita dan permasalahan remaja kota besar, Damhuri Muhammad tetap setia menjelajah inspirasi sastranya dari pergulatan hidup di udik.

Dari legenda tentang manusia anjing, jimat sakti preman pasar, cinta terlarang, jurus silat, dan korupsi yang berurat sampai ke pelosok, Damhuri menunjukkan bahwa ditengah gempuran modernitas yang memabukkan, orang-orang biasa tetap membawa dalam diri mereka jejak-jejak masa lalu yang tak terhapuskan.
