Fall of Hope

Laura Greenwood tackles action and fight scenes in Fall of Hope.

Add Rhianna to the list of Greenwood's bad-ass heroines. Greenwood has her battling multiple enemies and takes the time for a kiss or two in between slamming heads. I have to say that I really enjoyed the fight scenes. They are descriptive, action flowing, and aware.

Fall of Hope concentrates on freedom. Freedom from captivity, the past, loneliness, and despair. Rhianna has been on the run for five years. She has only depended on herself. She was smart enough to train herself to battle without using magic. Her source of strength is her character.

Greenwood does not really let you get to know the men, with maybe the exception of Charlie. The story is about saving not only yourself, but then saving others who are in the same situation even though you might die. I'm a veteran so this story really resonated with me. I think this is why I like Rhianna so much. She's huge and once again Greenwood creates another heroine to root for.

This is not to say that fae magic is not pretty cool. I love the description of one of the kissing scenes where Rhianna's power flows out. Greenwood described something so beautiful I wanted to be right there. This could be though because we just got 12 inches of snow and I want a little Fall back in my life. (laugh)

Nah. Greenwood gives us another fantastic tale. I cannot wait to see the next book in the “Return of the Fae” series.
