rainydaysandstormynights 's review for:
Furyborn
by Claire Legrand
3.5
I received an ebook ARC from Netgalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review!
This was a really solid YA fantasy book, but the ending went in a much different direction than I was expecting.
I was frustrated by some of the decisions that the characters made. The book never explained why they suddenly changed their mind about things. I found some elements and characters were introduced to advance the plot and then were never brought up again and things weren't resolved. There was a meaningful death pretty early on and one of the protagonists was upset briefly and then it wasn't mentioned except like once or twice randomly.
I found the sex scenes and one of the romantic pairings to be unnecessary to the plot.
I would have preferred to read this as a physical copy so that I could go back and check certain things with the timeline.
I found myself thinking about this book when I wasn't able to read it, which shows how invested I was in the story. The ending surprised me and I'm not sure I'm going to like the direction the story will go in, but I'm intrigued enough to carry on with book 2 whenever it's released.
