A review by bookobsessedfamily
Fires of the Forsaken by Stephanie E. Donohue
4.0
Addie just wanted a pizza, but the next thing she knows, she's in a different time in the middle of a war.
Lass doesn't remember anything about her past, but it will come to haunt her.
Both are struggling with controlling powers they don't understand while trying to survive a war.
----
This starts slow but picks up in the second half.
The characters are well-developed and you become invested. It is dual point-of-view. When it switched points of view it also changes times, so it can be a little confusing until you figure this out. The one point of view also has intentional misspellings and crossing out like it's a journal entry. At first, I thought this was something to do with the ARC copy, but figured out it was intentional.
I really like Addie. She's a strong FMC but not in the sense that you normally think. She's not strong physically but she knows her strengths and weaknesses and uses those. She's also snarky and witty. I love her banter and it makes the book also funny at times.
The world-building is great and the creatures the author created are downright creepy.
I would love to read the next book when it comes out.
I did get a copy of this book, this is my honest review.
