Fall of the Horizon by Jessica J. Ayala

4.5

 When it comes to fantasy reads, I'm as moody as a dragon with a toothache πŸ‰ πŸ˜‚ sometimes one smutty teaser and I'll devour a series of 6 books in a week, and sometimes the most anticipated books of the season can end up in a never-ending TBR abyss.
Then, I stumbled upon this book's blurb, and it just felt like right. Never signed up for an ARC this fast πŸ’—
This was my first fantasy read of 2024, and let me tell you, I was NOT disappointed! πŸ’Ž I'm also in love with the cover and title ✨

I fell for the side characters just as hard as I did for the main ones. πŸ’• The found family trope was an absolute win.
The fantasy world was a complex display of kingdoms, ancient and magical beings, wars, deep and long history, a bunch of rules and interculturals family and heirs stuff, but the author introduced everything so smoothly and addictively.

It was all about the action and slow burn that did it for me. ❀️‍πŸ”₯🀌 I've got a major crush on Zara, the badass elven assassin thirsty for blood and chaos. Her character development, alongside Ronan, was simply appealing. It was a journey full of tension, banter, slow burn, healing, and mending β€οΈβ€πŸ©Ή . Their enemies-to-lovers plot was such a fine rollercoaster of emotions. And he damn falls fast and hard πŸ‘Œ

The storyline, as I've already said, was addictive and full of twists and intrigue 🧐. You wouldn't have a second to lose focus or get disinterested.

And now here I am, already needing book two like yesterday! I can't wait to see what's coming next! πŸ“šπŸ˜­
