kristenfelts 's review for:
Riftborne
by Parker Lennox, Bree Grenwich
This book was a fine debut for these authors. It has an interesting enough concept and a lot of potential, but I found myself putting it down a lot and in no real rush to pick it back up.
The world building was simple and easy to follow. The side characters were likable, but I wanted more development there and without that, I struggled to really connect or care about any of them. The story felt very YA and juvenile, especially the romance. I was not a big fan of Laryk so I’d be interested to see any potential changes or new developments on this front in Book 2.
That said, that ending… I’ll be honest, I had no plans to read the next book and now I’m fully intrigued and cannot wait to get answers to the questions the end of this one left me with. I also did enjoy seeing Fia’s abilities develop throughout the story and am eager to see more of that in Book 2 as well.
Thank you NetGalley and ONYX Publishing for the ARC.
