Heartborn by Terry Maggert

3.0

The book started Fabulous however it sort of took a fall for the worse at the end.

The story is great we start off with Kieron wanting to save a life and being cast from the sky which leaves some mystery as we change POV to meet Livvy, a young girl with a bad heart condition who works in a library along with her friend, Dozen and the regular readers.

It truly was a great story however around Chapter 16 or 17 it stopped making sense.

One chapter was completely House Windhoek's fight with the council leaders which is fine and good but Habia's fight was 10 times longer than her parents and it was all clumped together in one extremely long chapter which got boring, i had to put the book down for two weeks because I got so bored and it was hard to find a good place to pause at all in the book when I had to do something else.

In the end Livvy's entire part of the story was a mirage made up by Kerion who gave her his heart to live which really upset me because I would have much preferred Cressa dying. However I do like the paring.

But whats with the shoes? How on earth did Livvy get wings in the Epilogue? Does everyone who travels through time to the future get wings? Why did they go through the water to get to the sky and how on earth does that make sense? And is Livvy a queen in her past life or something? Also what on earth is a HeartBorn?! It was slightly explained but not enough.

This book is a great book and I loved reading a self-published authors book since I don't normally read them but its confusing towards the end I didn't even understand what was happening and I was left with far more questions at the end thaN I had through any part of the story. I really do hope the sequel sheds some light into all of my unanswered questions and confusion.
