Ana is new. For thousands of years in Range, a million souls have been reincarnated over and over, keeping their memories and experiences from previous lifetimes. When Ana was born, another soul vanished, and no one knows why.  Even Ana’s own mother thinks she’s a nosoul, an omen of worse things to come, and has kept her away from society. To escape her seclusion and learn whether she’ll be reincarnated, Ana travels to the city of Heart, but its citizens are suspicious and afraid of what her presence means. When dragons and sylph attack the city, is Ana to blame? Sam believes Ana’s new soul is good and worthwhile. When he stands up for her, their relationship blooms. But can he love someone who may live only once, and will Ana’s enemies—human and creature alike—let them be together? Ana needs to uncover the mistake that gave her someone else’s life, but will her quest threaten the peace of Heart and destroy the promise of reincarnation for all? 

This book totally enthralled me. I don't even know how to explain how epic this book really was. But... I must try. Incarnate had every single element that a good YA book needs - romance, action, mystery, and of course.. the kick ass outcast girl.

When someone dies, they are reincarnated. Each time. Except for Ana. She was born brand new. The others are afraid of her and what her existence might mean for them. Will there be more newsouls? Ana tries to fit in and then here come Sam. This dude knows exactly what to say and when to say it. As their friendship grows into something more, we discover more about their personalities and I felt really connected to them.

The world-building was phenomenal. I thought to myself several times while reading, "How in the hell did the author come up with this?" It is amazing, well written and enjoyable. There were monsters to dodge, people who have lived hundreds of lives, a city to defend... the list goes on. Basically, go buy Incarnate. And you can thank me later.
