My Review:
3 Out Of 5 Stars
Genre: Another-World, Mystery, Romance, Royal-Court, Supernatural, Witches--
Amira is a witch like no other, having lived many lives before always having tragedy befall her, yet her powers are unmatched. While sent on a mission from the Gods, Amira ends up being captured by a witch hunter named Raven. The two are attracted to one another, both appalled by the connection and refuse to act on it. Amira wants the chance to finally life this life, where as Raven wants to free his brother from his curse. Can the two work together instead of at odds to find what they are looking for?
The heart of the story was a romance, no doubt about it. I think I went into the story expecting a fantastical adventure with hints of romance, and that was not really what this was so I was slightly let down. Don’t get me wrong, this was a good book and there is a highly complex magical system and world the author was able to create was very developed. I was just hoping for something else than what I got, so it is probably my fault. But to be honest, there were chapter in the start of the story after the two main characters meet where they just sit and stew about their attraction and how they refuse to give into it.
The book is narrated by Raven and Amira, alternating chapters with the character view points. I am a big fan of romances told from both points of view, so I was really happy to see that both the characters were clearly represented. There are so many side characters in this story that help the character development of the main characters as well as help with the plot. The side characters are almost as well developed as the main characters and I found myself invest in their lives, and I can’t help but be concerned by Ciaran (but that is for another story in another book).
Overall this was a good romance with fantastical elements weaved in the story. I was a little surprised by the path the book took, but overall I think this was a good start to what has the potential to be an epic story.
I received this title from the author in return for my honest review.
