Direbound: A Dark Romantasy by Sable Sorensen
4.5
I am so thankful to have been able to read this as an ARC!
First impression when finishing the book: gasp.
The world feels full, immersive, and like there’s so much more to explore. I started reading the book and then it absorbed me until I finished it! Meryn is a scrappy FMC, a street fighter coming from the slums of the Eastern quarter in the capital Sturmfrost. She bonds the Direwolf Anassa. After that, it was nonstop action through the rest of the Bonding Trials culminating in a twist that made me seethe with rage against one particular character!! Meryn did annoy me at times with how stubborn she was but I can see her really coming into her own in the next books and can’t wait to see how that unfolds. I also enjoyed the side characters and they gave me Iron Squad vibes from Fourth Wing.
Even though this was an ARC read for me, I’ll be picking it up when it debuts and will definitely continue the series!
The plot has a strong FMC, magic, rich world building, an action-filled plot, multiple spice scenes. Read this if you enjoyed Fourth Wing, Throne of Glass, Hunger Games.
