Description
Years ago, the Emperor used dark magic to steal all the colour from the world. Now he keeps it for himself, enjoying its life-giving power while everyone else must exist in cold shades of grey. That is, until a miracle baby is born – everything she touches turns to colour. But the child’s life is in danger from her very first breath. Soon the Emperor’s murderous Ripper Dogs and Black Coats come hunting. Can the girl and her adopted father survive in the forest – and what will it take to return colour and hope to the world?

This book was absolutely bloody brilliant. I loved the storyline and I adored some of the characters and hated others which I think was the purpose of their characterisation. This was such a magical read that had my imagination racing and so as a child I would have loved it. POarents get this book for your children. They will love it.

Wow.
What a book! What a story! What an author!
The Colour of Hope is currently standing as my book of the year so far. It was absolutely incredible. Immersive, entirely unpredictable and action-packed from beginning to end. So much happens in this story, it was like reading a trilogy rather than a single book. I adored every word of it: I laughed, I cried (oh how I cried) and I rooted for the characters with every fibre of my being.
Having read (and loved) many of Ross MacKenzie’s previous books, I approached The Colour of Hope with very high expectations and I was not disappointed. In fact, I think this could be MacKenzie’s best work so far. The world building is awe-inspiring, as is the characterisation. Every page is filled with drama and unexpected twists and turns lurk around every corner. I have not felt so invested in a piece of fantasy fiction since I first entered the world of Harry Potter, many many years ago.
I will be adding multiple copies of this book to my classroom and to our school library. I cannot recommend it highly enough. Thank you to NetGalley for the ARC.
