Odriel's Heirs by Hayley Reese Chow
4.0
“To win on the battlefield, you must conquer the fear within” — Odriel’s Heirs, Hayley Reese Chow.
Odriel’s Heirs is such an intriguing book. It has lovely character growth especially when it comes to Kaia, the protagonist of the book. When I started reading, Kaia was a girl timid to use her powers. She was curious but allowed people’s thoughts and actions get to her. Bram, her twin, is a prime example of an idiot who would never let her live down the fact that she came first so therefore she had the powers he didn’t get, even to the point of shaming her as a girl. I. Did. Not. Like. Him. At. All.
The book is divided into three parts and it taught me that courage is the way to go. Kaia, at several occasions doubted her own ability. She was afraid of hurting her own people and she was afraid of letting them die. At the end, she had to be courageous and boy, was she!
This book also taught me that people will always be people even after you have done something good for them, so you would rather do good without expecting them to do the same in return.
At various times, this book reminded me that there are still good people in this world.
One thing I especially loved about Odriel’s Heirs are the beautiful quotes I was able to highlight. Some of them are:
• “If ever you need light, just remember the one that burns within you never goes out.”
• ” Though you may have fallen in battle, your spirits join the wind on our faces, the air in our lungs,and together, we fight as one for eternity.”
• “Wherever there is light, there is shadow.”
• “To keep the dead from our doorstep, I must ride out to meet them.” THIS ONE GAVE ME SERUOUS GAME OF THRONES VIBES. I LOVE IT!
• “Why do the best of us have to die?”
• “There was history before humans, and there will be history after.”
Wow. Wow. Wow.
The covers, too?! Absolute delights.
This book was such an enjoyable read. I love the beautiful infuse of the enemies-to-lovers trope between Kaia and Klaus too. It was a delight to read.
4 shiny stars for me.
I can’t wait to read more from Hayley Reese Chow.
