My Thoughts:
I received a copy of this book from the author in exchange for an honest review.
Sevara is a young
girl growing in a world where all girls get taken to an orphanage as soon as
they're born and when they get to a certain age they get auctioned for
marriage. If for some reason girls don't get married before they come of age
they get thrown to the streets with nothing but the clothes on their backs. Sevara
is one of the many girls who doesn't marry and has to leave the
Orphanage; the first day she’s out on the streets she stumbles into
an execution and she decides to save the man, her actions is all
the rebels need to take a stand to try and change the world
they're living in.
I really enjoyed this book, the action kept me
turning the pages and the story was very unique and different. Sevara was such
a kick ass character actually all the woman in this book took crap from no one.
I also really liked the way Damian wrote the war scenes, they were very
detailed and there were some scenes that involved some soldiers using kites
that I found really different and very awesome! Also really got attached to
Sevara and Lief, I really loved reading scenes with the two together. The
reason I gave this book 3.5 stars was because at some points I found
myself a little confused there were so many things going on and so many
names dropped that I would forget who and what I was reading about. Other than
that I really enjoyed the story and its uniqueness. If you're looking for a
fantasy with a strong kick ass female lead, this is the book for you.
