Rising Sun by Donna Grant
4.0
⭐️High fantasy
⭐️Enemies to lovers
⭐️Angsty Slow burn
⭐️Check TWs
This is the first book I’ve read from Donna Grant and it’s fair to say I will be looking into more of her books after this instalment.
This book follows Yasmin, a courageous human woman with a dark past seeking answers to who she is, escaping her past and aiding to create a better world for others with a past as tormented as hers.
Ravi is a closed off and mysterious Sun Elf who is tasked to receive something that is in a place that links to Yasmins past.
The duo must work together to complete their mission, leading to a angsty journey through a will they/wont they slow burn, that had me almost ripping my hair out at points. The growth of the enemies to friendship to lovers of the two characters had me consumed whilst reading, following them both open up to one another as the book went on had my heart in a vice.
The descriptive high fantasy elements painted wonderful pictures of the world in this series and has me grasping for the next book to get the answers to the questions that had been introduced during the glimpses of reveals during reading.
This is a great book, the world building and magic system is superior and has left me wanting to know more and more after this first instalment.
I give this book 4 stars, possibly 4.5 at times, however, sometimes this book became slightly slow and dragged, not enough to lose interest, but it could have been less and more plot driven than descriptive. But over all I really enjoyed this novel and I can’t wait to read the next one.
*This was an ARC read, for my honest review*
