This one goes to the "Just One More Chapter Before I Go To Sleep-OMG Is That The Sun?!" shelf.
Amazing writing, fantastic characters, and a story that grabs you and won't let go.
C.K. Miller can give a masterclass on Strong Female Characters. Keatep is the most determined, kind, and courageous woman I've ever read. While she grew up with a loving father figure and a wonderful friend by her side, she trained harder than any other soldier to protect the kingdom and the people she loved. Facing immeasurable danger and coming to terms with her terrible destiny, she fights will all her might to overcome everything this evil, EVIL author throws at her.
I mean... is there some sort of injury she missed during her journey? I think my body still aches just thinking of every broken bone and debilitating wound. And the poisoning. Don't forget the poisoning.
Aren't we missing something? Her heart! Of course, we need to break that organ too!
Don't get me wrong, this book is fantastic. But did she really need to fall in love with the absolute worst (best!) guy around? Was it really necessary to wait for her to share a nanosecond of happiness with her dad before the guy croaks (okay, I forgive you that)? Can at least her best friend stand by her side when she loses almost everything? No... well T_T
But you won't touch the horses, right? Not the beautiful, loyal horsie that Keatep loves like... NOOOOOOO!!!!
Yeah, I loved it. I 100% recommend this book. And therapy.
