breathedontpanic 's review for:

Riftborne by Parker Lennox, Bree Grenwich

3.5

---

In a world where a failed rebellion from 20 years ago, lingers under everything, Fia finds herself trying to stay hidden with magic that if found could mean a threat to the life she has so carefully curated. But when she meets the Sidhe General Laryk Ashford and her powers take over, everything changes. The world building here was easy to follow, which for me is a huge one, since some of the more epic fantasies can make it harder for me to keep track of everything, and having the maps and pronunciation guide in the beginning was fantastic. What more can you ask for in a romantasy than a good slow burn, a morally grey MMC and still a little spice. Admittedly, I was not a huge fan of the FMC as I found she gave off more of juvenile vibe with some of her actions, but you can’t love them all. This book would be a great fit for people who like more of an epic fantasy, and for slow burn romantasy lovers. A big thank you to NetGalley, and Bree Grenwich & Parker Lennox for allowing me to have an ARC for this book in exchange for an honest review.
