The Abandoned Realm by Brittany Hansen
4.0
Ok so I’m not going to write a synopsis because you can go read the blurb! I’ll try not to spoil anything either and just give you the general vibes of this book!
This is a book for people who want to feel like they felt in middle/high school after reading a fantasy book, but with relatable characters for adults. I feel like we can all relate to the characters’ feelings of self-doubt and fear. I thought Brittany did an excellent job of acknowledging these feelings and then slipping in really inspirational ways to overcome them. This book reminded me of why I fell in love with fantasy in the first place.
This book was so funny. There were many times that I laughed out loud at things that Guy said or that Talera did. I was hardcore cheesin’ throughout.
There were so many elements to this story that were so so good. I loved the action sequences and the moments of deep vulnerability. I felt like the villain’s story could’ve been delved into a little more and that the third part felt a little rushed, but overall, I really enjoyed reading this book and will continue to pick up books by Brittany!
