A review by ebgracie77
Taken by Katerina Martinez

4.0

I’m torn. I would put this around 3.5 stars. This story intrigues me but I feel like there’s something about the world building that feels lazy. It has hints of being a fantasy historical but there’s a lot of references to very modern activities, like reality TV. Also, the presumed male romantic lead doesn’t make me want to like him other than a physical reaction thing. He’s described as someone who bloodies a tool on the lives of servants if he didn’t sufficiently bloody the tool on the enemy. That is not the kind of man I want a heroine to end up liking. The story is still intriguing and I enjoyed it. For now, I will keep reading this series.
