Furyborn, a YA novel, follows two young women, Rielle Dardenne and Eliana Ferracora, whose worlds are separated by a full millennium, but whose destinies are intertwined.
Reilly possesses all seven kinds of elemental magic, an unprecedented number compared to some people who possess one. And Eliana a bounty hunter/assassin who’s body has the ability to heal itself. According to a prophesy two individuals with such powers will emerge one queen will be the Sun Queen, a queen of light who brings protection and salvation. The other will be the Queen of Blood, a bringer of death and destruction. But who is who? The novel takes us chapter by chapter revealing their secrets through trials, and ambushes.
A very cool concept for a novel. Overall, I feel it was missing a climax in the plot. There was great writing, pace and the delivery on building the characters and setting however just when it was amounting to something we have to go to book two. Not even much of a build up or even cliff hanger. Something else that did not deliver for me was the heterosexual romance (duh it’s YA). It would be nice to have a reason to believe these people are interested in each other besides the fact that they’re are just there. I didn’t become that invested.
It was a decent read, however, the more time passes, the less memorable it feels to me, either in setting or in character. I know there are sequels to this book, but I don’t feel compelled to continue the series.
