The progression in the relationship between Max and Tisaanah was the selling point of this book, and the thing that kept me invested in the story even though I found a plot to be lacking in some parts. The descriptions were very abstract, and I personally, found it very hard to follow what was going on in the fighting scenes as well as when magic was being described. I found the story engaging and well paced. The relationships between the main protagonists and side-characters were very well done. The reveals of Max's and Tisaanah's past was done perfectly and they would always deepen my understanding of the character, making me feel and care for them even more. Ending of a chapter would always leave me wanting more romance or more worldbuilding/magic. So much that I read the book in two sittings.
Some of the things that I hope to see improve in the next book are expansion of the world, better and more in-depth explanation of the magic as well. Also I would love to see side characters a bit more well flesh out (their backgrounds, families...) beside just the relationship with the two main protagonists. I feel like this story has a lot of potential, so I'm excited to see if the sequel lives up to the expectation.
Would recommend to the fans of Sarah J. Mass.
THE WRITING, THE CHARACTERS, THE DESCRIPTIONS, EVERYTHING WAS PERFECT!!
I was not expecting this book to be this good honestly, but this surpasses all my expectations, if I could give it 6 stars I would. Omg
Make it make sense cause it doesn't. Who barely gets accepted into a group and turns around and starts demanding group give her ppl to go save slaves. Especially when she was just told they want no issue with other country. Boring, didn't like characters and makes no damn sense.
4,5 Stars very nice fantasy with a hint of romance.
It got me out of a deep reading slump.
3.75/5
I won't lie and say it was great, because it wasn't. The writing was easy to get through but there is something about fantasy that a person needs special talent to be able to explain the world building, the terms, the connection to one thing to the next. It lacked here in my opinion.
The characters were likable, but i didn't feel any deep connection to them. They were not relatable (of course not) and the chemistry was sometimes present and sometimes not.
Will i read the second book? Probably not
I feel bad doing this. This book is good, it really is. There's nothing wrong about it. The writing is stunning and the author creates wonderful characters. It's just not for me, unfortunately i didn't enjoy it. I did like Nura's character a lot though, and i will give the sequel a chance.
Wow this was a disappointment!
It wasn't bad by any means but I loved The Serpent and the Wings of Night so much that reading this afterward was not the right move.
This just felt so lacklustre, quite bland and so surface level in comparison. I felt no connection to any characters and wasn't really compelled to read it at any point and had to push through it at parts.
Easily a favorite book of the year. Hell, a favorite book of all time. This was so good. So freaking good. Scenes from this book will live in my head rent free for the foreseeable future. And Max? Maybe my favorite male lead like ever.
DNF'd at 50%. Basically for all the reasons the other folks DNF'd or rated the book at about 2 stars.
The book cover is appalling and, had I not seen reviews from people I follow I would never have picked it up to read.
However, I am glad that I did as I have quite enjoyed the story and am excited for the sequels.
The story follows Tisaanah, who was a slave since she was 13 years old and manages to get the money required to buy her freedom at 21. She has some magical powers and dreams of joining the Order, to learn to further develop her powers to be able to use it to free the slaves. She ends up training with Max, an ex-soldier who have quitted working with the Order for the last 8 years.
What I liked about the book:
- Strong, determined, and resilient female lead, willing to work to achieve what she wants and with a selfless final purpose.
- Interesting worldbuilding and connections between the characters.
- Interesting side characters that I want to know more about.
- Engaging and well written story, even if a bit long.
What I think it could have been done better:
- I've found bits of the story a little repetitive. Although I haven't had any issues about the pacing, I saw several reviews complaining about it and I think addressing this issue could have led to a slight shorter book, more appealing to some readers.
- Tisaanah has an extreme reaction to killing her master, suffering for months with the kill. I understand why this would happen, but I find it a bit inconsistent with her personality and later reaction to similarly hard situations.
Overall and engaging story that I would recommend for fantasy/ fantasy romance readers.
Really enjoyed this book. Devoured in 2 days.
The characters have depth, flaws and quick wit.
Some of the magic was quite convenient, but the book remains fast paste and enjoyable.
Zeryth is everything from power-hungry to selfish and everything in between. Max is downright amazing. This book was something!
3.5 stars. I had a hard time with some of the. . . Second language aspects. It felt more like she wrote in a rush and kind of took me out of the story a bit.
Tisaanah is a slave, and she manages to escape, and she makes her way to the orders. The strongest magic wielded, where in order to get accepted she is tossed at a man for an apprenticeship. Now, Max, doesn't want to teach her, but eventually he does. After some time, she passes her test, and they head of the orders wants her to take on a “raw power”. She agrees in exchange for freeing the other slaves from her previous home.
Anyways, I did enjoy the plot, I felt like the romance was odd though. It kinda of popped up out of nowhere for me.
