Furyborn by Claire Legrand
4.0
Furyborn is a spatially and temporally back-and-forth journey — or rather, two journeys — that nails several elements: a wildly intriguing opening scene, switching points of view, and two main characters who are unapologetically ruthless yet endearing.
At times, however, I was confused by all the place, people, and thing names. Never before have I referred to a world map more. And, being a romantic at heart, I would have liked fewer lengthy action scenes and more relationship-building scenes — but that's just my preference. That said, there are a couple simmering moments that deserve appreciation.
If Furyborn is one thing (and it is many), it is jam-packed, in a good way. I felt like I coasted along without feeling that panicked urgency of a book nearing its end, because a lot happened within its many pages. I'm glad I read it and look forward to the next installment.
