Honest Review in exchange for an ARC copy of this book at the authors request! All opinions expressed are solely my own.
The Fair Isle Trilogy: Complete Series Collection by Tessonja Odette would be given a 3 star rating by me. And I admit I rate harsh! I enjoyed this eons more than I was expecting too. They say not to judge a book by its cover, and I have always found the opposite true until recently. I came across this book on several of my book suggestion lists and was so happy to be allowed to review it for Odette as a trilogy collection release! To Carve A Fae Heart was enticing and intriguing from the get go, and the characters each had their own flavours and voice, which many in the Fantasy genre struggle with. I can't bear a drab narration, but here everything held my attention and intrigue. Odette does a brilliant job of conveying a world like so many but in an original clearly inspired way. It isn't difficult to create this world whilst reading her words and her creations actions. Book 2 is again quite an intrigue to read although I did find myself slowing with need to read towards the second half... I am so glad I stuck with it though and am glad to say the third book defied my previous expectations and led me back to Faerwyvae happily. This is an author I am glad to say has left an interesting and fun to read series and I look forward to reading more in the future. Overall, I give it a 3 star rating, as compared to many other Fantasy Fiction books and series, the world is not complete, and certain areas of character development sure did feel lacking and I had no pining after heroes or antihero moments. But I enjoyed it as an easy to read foray into the Fantasy Fiction world.
