Heir to Kale by K.L. Bone
4.0
I really had a great time reading this amazing story! K. L. Bone is a really talented (and imaginative) writer. I was blessed to be given this book in exchange of an honest review.
This story is following twin sisters America and Mariana and their respective temples : Kolosso and Kale. I really love the story; it is original, well construct and plenty of details are provided. Those details are really helping us to envision that magical world into our head. Truly a magical journey!!! This book is pure entertainment. Violence is present into the story, but toned down and was serving the story to move it forward. Violence is never use just for the sake of using it; it is used to move the story forward. The prophecy is very compelling; I really wanted to have more details on it… I was eager to know how Ameria’s and Marianna’s teammates were doing in battle. One little note here, at first I was overwhelmed with all the names that were given. Some could have been left out; anyway for most of them, they were name once or twice. In the end, it was easier to have known whom is who though!
The main reason why I gave 4 stars instead of 5 for this book is based on the characters, it was the only bump in the road. Ameria’s chapters were way shorter than those of Mariana’s, which caused, on my end, a total lack of connection to Ameria. In the last third of the book, I could sense the wind turning though!! I am pretty sure that in the second book I will have that connection with her character. Mariana is well construct; she is believable, but really dramatic some times; other times it felt like she had a total lack of empathy. I’ve got mixed feelings about her, but I really know that it is how we come across when we are searching for ourselves, so I have to give a big Congrats to the author to take us into this road. I really wish having the same type of character complexity with America Though; as I said before it is beginning to emerge in the last part of the book. Jace, Marcus, Kyle And Ryan are characters that really stood out to me. Well construct, enjoyable and most of all believable (well I still am a guy after all lol)
Oh!!! I really want to meet those talking puppies (CoCo and Mac) and go for walk with them under the 3 suns!!
Overall there were a lot of hit and a few misses. However, I really do recommend this book you will not be disappointed at all. I Promise! I am eager to start reading the 2nd book!!!
