That doesn’t mean the characters didn’t feel well written – the nice thing was that each chapter was written by a different character, so you did get to feel and see how different characters interact and react to the situations around them. Sorasa Sarn seemed much more alive and vibrant than some of the other characters, but maybe that’s just me. I actually liked the assassin the most, out of all of them. It’s easy to read and get sucked in by, and that fact meant I could easily keep reading.īut I didn’t really click with the main character of Corayne. Plus, I really like Victoria Aveyard’s writing.

It was good, don’t get me wrong, and I would recommend it if you’re into fantasy and want a new epic to read, as this is very likely the first book in a series considering that ending. I was ready to read something astounding.Īstounding wasn’t quite the word I would describe it having now finished it though. The synopsis hooked me, and the cast of characters that was promised from the back of the book drew me in. Yes, the premise as I mentioned sounded very good. Together they stand against a vicious opponent, invincible and determined to burn all kingdoms to ash, and an army unlike anything the realm has ever witnessed. Even as darkness falls, she is joined by a band of unlikely companions:Ī squire, forced to choose between home and honor.Īn ancient sorceress, whose riddles hide an eerie foresight. She soon discovers the truth: She is the last of an ancient lineage-and the last hope to save the world from destruction.

It was a real easy read, and I must say, the premise of the book before I picked it up looked very good.īut let’s get into the proper review, shall we?Įven Corayne an-Amarat can feel it, tucked away in her small town at the edge of the sea.

I finished Victoria Aveyard’s ‘Realm Breaker’ on Friday, having spent much of the week reading it outside in the sunshine.
