Five Broken Blades
by Mai Corland
adventurous
mysterious
medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven:
Character
Strong character development:
No
Loveable characters:
Yes
I really, really disliked the audio. 2 narrators out of 6 POV characters were awful. The first 50% of this was rough. 50-75 got interesting. 75-100 I was fully invested.
There will be a book 2, for those who don't like reading series before it's complete.
Content warnings: small mention of animal death (past events) happen twice. Death (also children and babies) mentioned in past. There's actually a death that I felt was a bit glossed over that was kind of brutal. Closed door sexual scenes, but it's mentioned.
The why it's not a 5 star:
Why, out of 6 POV are they all coupled immediately? Had there been 1-2 people not heading for a romance this story would have felt more natural.
