Peace and Turmoil
by Elliot Brooks
4.5 Stars
This book was my favorite book of the year. Now before you read the rest of my review, please keep in mind that I was a beta reader for this book and this book could be even better.
Now, onto the review!
I would describe this book as the perfect transition between your regular romance heavy YA Fantasy to your regular Politically Dense Adult Fantasy. The romance in this book takes a seat at the back of the bus while still being beautiful and present. The political situation sits at the front but leaves room in the middle for others like: Great Friendships, An Amazing Magic System and an Interesting Religion. The world and its politics are easy to understand and the author does an amazing job at explaining to you the history without boring you to death. The world is very clear and so are the people and hey! Guess what, It’s diverse af! The people in this world come from very different backgrounds, their kingdoms having different histories.
This book has made me: Frustrated, Confused, Annoyed (at characters), Sad and Desperate. Trust me when I tell you, you will love the characters. Oh, and there are plenty of characters that you will love to hate.
The only reason that I gave this book 4.5 instead of a 5 is to leave room for it to wow me more like I know it will.
