Chaos Forged a Fable by Kate Craft
4.0
(slight spoiler alert)
When Maya is thrust into another world in search of her mother and brother, she has no idea of the adventures awaiting her. She also has no idea about the truth of who she really is. As she embarks on a quest that becomes increasingly complex as time passes, she realizes that there is a lot more at stake than just the lives of her mother and brother. Maya is not just born of this strange new realm, she is also destined for a specific purpose in it.
I loved this book! The worldbuilding is amazing and unique. It was so refreshing to dive into a new fantasy that is not part of the Fae realm (don't get me wrong, I love the Fae as much as anyone else but there are so many books about them nowadays). Avalon is a fantastic world, intricately linked to our own but so so different, filled with strange creatures, humans and the Outlanders (or gypsul as they call themselves). I especially enjoyed the elemental magic system and the Finkles.
I fell in love with almost all the characters, even the less 'nice' ones and the twisty betrayal at the end just about broke my heart. They were all well written, with their distinct personalities, quirks, hopes, fears and agendas. I do wish the romance between Maya and Thelic was built up a little slower and less physically but that being said, I like them together so much. I can only hope they last.
I definitely am going to be reading the next books and I'm only sad that I started reading the series before all the books are published.
