crystalm17 's review for:
Forsaken Thrones
by L.L. Stiles
Note: I received a free ARC of Forsaken Thrones from the publisher.
I've been following the author on Tik Tok for some time prior to learning that she'd written a book, especially enjoying the Sarah J Maas related content that she's put out. When I learned that she'd written a book, I was very interested, especially when I started seeing the reviews saying that it reminded them of Throne of Glass.
And now that I've read the book I definitely see the similarities. Some of the elements are very similar to other fae books (the idea of hidden heirs to the throne, how the fae age, mates, etc.) but Stiles did a pretty decent job of making the story her own.
I thought Forsaken Thrones was actually pretty well written. There were some slight typos which may have been corrected in later editions and some passages where I felt the POV shifted in a odd way but it was very, very readable and the problems didn't bother me enough to dampen the reading experience.
It was definitely good enough that I think, when book two rolls around, I'll probably end up purchasing a physical copy of this book and book two so I have them both on my shelf.
I've definitely read books by debut authors that weren't as clean or entertaining as this one. So a big kudos to the author! I look forward to the next book and more of her online content.
