Fortress of Blood and Power by Rachel L. Schade
3.75
Mansfield Park meets Snow White and the Huntsman, but make it ✨Fae✨
This was a really enjoyable, fairly fast-paced read, perfect for the winter season.
Florentia is sacrificed to the Fae by her younger brother, left to fend for herself in unfamiliar territory that's crawling with unsavoury creatures.
Enter wolf-shifter Garrick: a swoon-worthy hunter willing to aid our lady Ren in avoiding said creatures, which have been sent to hunt her down on behalf of the cruel royal family that rule the land.
But all is not as it seems, and we soon find ourselves on a rollercoaster of twists and turns as the story unfolds.
The royal siblings really are despicable, and you cannot help hate them. Ren's character development is a delight to behold, and the growing feelings between her and Garrick leave you hoping all will work out in the end.
There was enjoyable banter, and I particularly enjoyed side-character Aspen as the friend Ren really needed while navigating her current circumstances.
This was the first time I've read this author's work, but it definitely won't be my last!
