A Broken Blade by Melissa Blair
5.0

What a great book! The concept intrigued me (as I am writing something not entirely dissimilar to Shadow). I loved all of the characters. Each had a dynamic, unique personality.

While I did love the book (and how it ended was fantastic!), I did get a little annoyed by the depth of Keera's drinking problem. While I understood that it was a pivotal part of her character, it felt overdone and sometimes interrupted with the flow of the story for me. But really, that was the only complaint.

And Riven... I'm excited to see how he plays out in the next book. I adored him!

This is a must-read for fans of fantasy with elves, half-elves, and intrigue.
