I am voluntarily reviewing this novel after receiving a free copy.
Actual rating: 3.75 stars
TW: This novel contains a surprisingly amount of violence for a YA book. We got people slittin their own throats, people being burned alive, child and animal murder, the whole 9 yards.
This novel isn't all that unique in terms of its content. Angsty YA heroine hated by society wants to protect it anyway. Has a kinda emo shadowy love interest. Befriends magical beings/animals, has a cool dog, develops her powers, saves the world from the shadowy big bad, etc. etc.
What really set this book apart for me is the pacing. This story isn't long (I think it's less than 300 pages) but it MOVES. I feel like a normal story like this would be drawn out into a whole trilogy, but Chow wastes literally none of our time. Our characters are zipping all over the place, meeting tons of new characters, making new friends, developing their powers/relationship, etc. etc., and somehow none of it seems rushed. There's a scene that would be the climax in a normal fantasy novel, where the hero has to really dig deep to save the day, sustains some losses, etc. etc...and it's only at the halfway point!! It's nuts, and as someone who struggles with writing bloat, genuinely impressive. At no point did the novel feel like it was dragging, but it never felt like the author was in too much of a hurry, either. It really was paced perfectly.
I also found myself endeared to a lot of the side characters. Again, none of them get too much screentime, because we're constantly moving to someone knew, but I feel like they were all deftly captured in the few scenes they had, and were varied/interesting enough that it did hurt when we had to let them go. (One in particular was very upsetting/unfair, and I'm sure Chow knows exactly who it is. ;-;)
The story does have other flaws - again, it is SUPER violent for a YA book, especially compared to how chaste the romance is. I think our heroes share a single kiss at the end? Maybe a make-out session? But heads are rolling literally the entire series, and often they're characters who would be largely exempt from terrible violence in other series. And, again, it's also pretty generic. It does try to be a bit different with its magic system - three Heirs destined to stop the Big Bad over and over - but nothing about it or the world really hooked me.
Overall, though, this was a satisfying read. If you want something quick and well-paced with a cute romance in the background, this will hit the spot.

3.8 out of 5 stars!
"I'm just going to walk out there like a normal villager." - Kaia
There's nothing "normal" about Kaia Dashul! Having inherited the Dragon Fire, her path is already laid out before her. Only she wants a normal life and to meet a normal boy. Things turn sour when an ancient being's undead army appear in her hometown.
Kaia revels in her fire and it causes her to want to pursue her destiny. No matter where it may lead and who she has to team up with. Venturing forth with her unlikely companions, Kaia's ready to do what must be done. But can a seventeen-year-old girl really accomplish things? Does she have enough control over her flames? And will the Shadow Heir ever stop teasing her!?
"When a body is raised, the darkest part of that person's soul is also raised to inhabit it." - Shad
This is a coming of age story for Kaia. Journeying away from her family and understanding the ways of the world. There are things she did not expect to face while she was pursing her goal. Yet Klaus helps to keep things light and fun when needed. Even if they consist of childish pranks and teasing words.
The cast was fantastic in this book and I loved all the different personalities. Tekoa, Bam, Mickie, and Shad were amongst my favorite characters of the book! I loved how Kaia basically had a familiar in the book and could communicate with him through telepathy.
Kaia's seen as a curse by many. There's depictions of bullying and injustice. This may be a spoiler but I was so happy when Kaia realized not everyone was like the ones who condemned her as a spawn. Coming to learn that her gift isn't one to be feared or hidden away to make others happy.
Now this book is a YA fantasy, but it is a darker one. There are some elements and themes that are heavier. The main character has to face a lot of grief in a short amount of time. Not fully being able to deal with all the emotions and the healing process. I was a little upset with a character when they basically told the other to move on. . .
For me, I didn't like it. Main character's are younger and not fully adults yet. Not saying by any means adults are better with their emotions, I for one am still struggling with things. Just character's are allowed to mourn and grieve. Having moments of weakness. I get where the other character's coming from but still!
The other thing for me, this is just personal opinion. I felt the pacing was off in areas. Some scenes seemed to drag a little where others went by too quickly. This book does end with a cliffhanger and openings for the next one.
You can skip over this paragraph if you would like. But I felt like the ending was a little rushed with the climax of the story. Felt like there was more buildup then anything but when we got to the big part it breezed by. This is just how the book felt to me. You may think otherwise and completely devour this book and rush to get the next one in the series.
I didn't catch any language in the book. But this book does contain violence, some gore, feelings of grief, panic attacks, and bullying. There was some kissing in the book but being YA genre that was it with the romance side of things. Frenemies to lovers trope. I enjoyed all the different magical creatures and epic scenes. The world-building was cool and I loved that the author included a map at the beginning of the book.
Do enjoy the epic, dark, YA fantasy and give the author some stars!

I received an advanced review copy of this book for free and this is my honest review of it.
In this book we get to follow Kaia, one of Odriel’s three heirs, as she together with the Shadow Heir Klaus goes on a journey to save their world from the evil that want to claim it.
I really enjoyed the story and the world that Hayley has created. It was beautiful and full of fantastical creatures roaming the lands.
The creation of the heirs and them having their personalities reflecting their titles was well executed and made them grow even more as characters when trying to match the expectations thrown upon them.
The story was fast paced which let the characters go through many adventures in one as the way to their goal grows more complex.
A detail I adored was Kaia’s relationship to her dog, Gus. I loved the little “conversations” and one liners that she could read in his actions and how all of this lead to making us love their relationship even more.
The only reason as to why this was not a 5 star read for me was because it felt like I had already read this story in other names and other places before. But it is very hard to come with something new to this community by now.
Anyway, Hayley did an amazing job with this book and making the story her own. I can’t wait to read the rest of the books in this series!

TW: violence, blood, mild gore, death of a child (not depicted), body horror, suicide, use of torture (not depicted), blood
Disclaimer: I received an ARC copy of this book from the author. Thank you to Hayley Reese Chow for the opportunity to provide an honest review.
Ms. Chow reached out to me with a copy of her novel, and because the premise promises a fun fantasy adventure, I jumped at the chance to give it a try.
What I Liked
-This book gives me such Sabriel vibes in the way the story structured and especially with the animal companions. It's a good ol' fashioned fantasy story, with a plot contained between the pages, with awesome battle scenes, but also with the promise of further evil on the horizon. I like to take breaks from serial fantasy series every once and awhile.
-Kaia may not be the sharpest tool in the shed, but she doesn't let anyone take her agency from her and she's brash enough to keep trying to prove herself, even when those around her are losing hope. She isn't infallible, and her well-founded fears could certainly take over her thoughts and actions, but she's a hero you can easily root for! I hope she'll have the space to deal with the trauma she's faced; it sucked to watch her try to pretend she was fine in front of her allies.
-I definitely was hardcore shipping Kaia and Klaus! He was so tender with her and their rivalry admits chaos was light-hearted considering everything that was happened. They're a predictable couple but their romance didn't detract from the actual plot thankfully. I just wish their first kiss wasn’t literally before a battle because I hate the “first kiss intended to be the last kiss” trope. Just kiss when you're both safe and alive!
-The secondary characters were sweet but not really interesting. Dorinas was my favourite, though, 'cause I'm just a sucker for grumpy characters.
What I Didn't Like
-I often found myself a little confused by the world-building and by the different creatures that share the land with humans. A lot was thrown at you throughout the novel and I was just playing catch up.
-There were also pieces of the plot (ex., Odriel's Tooth) that felt like they were dropped in to overcome an obstacle. I would have preferred the characters to look at what they had and come up with a clever solution.
-The pacing could be off at times, where some parts moved a little too fast and some parts slowed down considerably.
-I was surprised by the early death of one of the smaller villains. I thought he'd be around longer. The pay off didn't really fit the build up of his character.
Conclusion
This book delivered on the promise of a fun fantasy that balanced the dark with the light. I'm glad I was given a chance to get an early glimpse!
My Rating: 3.5/5

Book: Odriels Heir
Author: Hayley Reese Chow
Book Series: Odriels Heirs Book 1
Rating: 3/5
Publication Date: February 23, 2020
Publisher: Indie Published
Pages: 197
Recommended Age: 15+ (violence, some mature scenes)
Synopsis: The brave, burning with fire, harnessed the Dragon's Rage....
As the Dragon Heir, seventeen-year-old Kaia inherited the power of flame to protect her homeland from a godlike necromancer’s undead army. But after centuries of peace, the necromancer has faded to myth, and the Dragon Heir is feared by the people. Persecuted and cast out, Kaia struggles to embrace and control her seemingly useless gift while confined to her family’s farm.
But when the necromancer’s undead terrorize the land once again, Kaia runs away to join the battle.
With the help of her childhood rival, the handsome Shadow Heir, and a snarky, cursed cat, Kaia must figure out how to control both her fire and her confidence in time to save Okarria. If she fails, she will sacrifice her family, her new friends, and the enchanting world she has only just begun to see.
And time is running out.
Review: For the most part this is a great fantasy. The story is intriguing, the world building is fantastic, and the writing was well done.
However, the character development lacked a bit for me. The main character wasn't very likable and while that can be done amazingly in some book I felt it lacked in this one.
Verdict: An excellent fantasy read!

What I Did Like:
-Kaia. She isn’t the perfect chosen one right from the beginning of this book. I’m a fan of the chosen one trope but I love seeing that twisted and played with as well. This book definitely has her fighting back against it, failing at it, and being ostracised for it. All well done.
-Enemies to lovers … lite. I say lite because even when they were declaring themselves enemies I saw right through them. They’re cute and the side romance works.
-Fantasy creatures. We already know I’m a sucker for dragons. Add in a large cat and I’m SOLD. The fantasy animals in this just worked for me.
Who Should Read This One:
-Fantasy fans who like immersive worlds.
-Readers who enjoy when tropes are played with a little and twisted into new forms.
My Rating: 3 stars. This is a good fantasy story that will appeal to many fantasy readers.

What a great story!
I loved the idea of different heirs to legacies who trained together since birth or just grew up knowing each other, it was so different to the stories where the heirs don't know about each other till a prophecy comes to pass.
The action and emotion put into such a short story was so well done, not only were the characters beautifully built so was the world and all the people that were part of it.

I loved this story! When the world rests upon two young adults shoulders, will they be able to save everyone? I really enjoyed the character growth throughout the story. We watch Kaia grow into her powers beautiful. Klaus has such a snarky, yet wonderful personality. I enjoyed the angst between the two as their friendship grew stronger. One of my favorite parts of the book was Gus, Kaia's ragehound and all of his sentiments towards her. The plot was fun and full of surprises. I couldn't put the book down and will be diving into the next book as soon as I can. A great beginning to what I believe will be an amazing series.
Huge thanks to Booksirens for my gifted copy!

*I received a free copy of this book, with thanks to the author. The decision to review and my opinions are my own.*
Odriel’s Heirs is a solid fantasy adventure, for young adults upwards, full of battles, magic and romance.
17-year-old Kaia is the underappreciated Dragon Heir, who must stand with the Time Heir (kind, gentle Jago) and the Shadow Heir (difficult, prickly Klaus) and use their combined powers to hold back the undead forces of the Lost (basically, zombies). Roles that were once lauded are now despised, and Kaia must try to learn how to handle her powers and fight her battles, while facing the distrust and dislike of the very people she has sworn to protect.
Combining a coming-of-age journey for the main heroine, with some romance and some action, and some very endearing animal companions (talking cat/spy Shad and rage-hound Gus), this is a well-written exploration of the juxtapositions between fire and shadows, death and life, good and evil, light and dark. Kaia and Klaus must conquer their inner demons of fear, doubt, guilt, anger and grief, and the external demons conjured by the evil necromancer.
I took a little time to warm to both Kaia and Klaus, as they are very authentic teenagers, with all the inherent difficulties in attitude, stubbornness and argumentativeness. However, they do grow and develop as the events of the story test them, and they both won me over before too long. Other characters had my heart from the beginning – twice I cried real tears over that dog!
This is an engaging and exciting fantasy read, with a bit of everything, well-written and nicely-paced. I’m looking forward to the next book to find out what happens next for the Heirs.
'An inhuman screech pierced through the air, followed by another, and another. As one, the family pivoted toward the cries. The sound froze Kaia’s already scattered thoughts and a spike of panicked adrenaline shot through her limbs. For a brief, tense moment, the clamor of the festival fell silent.
“It can’t be,” Kaia’s mother whispered. “Not this far north already.”
And in that moment, Kaia knew the Lost had arrived in Arimoke.'
