About this deal

Nathan over at Fantasy Review Barn recently used the term "grab-bag" in one of his reviews, and I'm totally stealing it, b/c that's exactly what's going on here. She flirts with one trying to anger the other, almost throws a fit when the other doesn't seem to care. By the end of the book I was so enticed that I read the second book straight after because I needed to know what happened next. Every time I looked at the title, my brain kept telling me that this was Book One of the Revenant Chronicles.

We've got corrupt advisers to the monarch, a foreign, misunderstood queen who keeps IMPORTANT secrets from her daughter, gypsy caravans, a too-young soldier who bonds with his captive, a grizzled, veteran mentor, etc.As far as the two mysterious strangers from the blurb go, it isn't really the conventional love triangle. My one slight complain would be -- as obvious from my read stats -- the lack of action in the beginning. One could think "oh even though he didn't want to marry her, he must've thought that he should do this because of his duty to his country".

There's a day of sporting events that culminates in a bout of log-wrestling, which is just all kinds of genius. I'm becoming more and more a fan of switching views in stories, and this story is an added reason to why. The only reason I docked a star is because the fantasy aspects of this book are really underdeveloped. And I also think she's allowed to fancast Torrance Coombs as Rafe and IT SURELY HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH ALL THE ALREADY MADE GIFS ONE CAN EASILY FIND ON THE INTERNET. It wasn’t a five star read, it had too much romance in it, but it was still filled with a brilliant world building, secrets to unfold and enemies that could be friends and friends that could betray you.Coupled with an exquisite world-building that teases us with the lovely Terravin, hellish Cam Lanteux and everything in between, we are assured that the world portrayed is far from perfect and just, but also full of miracles, wonders and almost magical possibilities. swoon especially one of them *wink wink*) Okay, okay I wont do that to you, I'll try to give you a little more.

While on the run, she encounters the prince she was promised to and an assassin who’s been sent to kill her. It honestly was pretty obvious who she had real feelings for early on, or maybe that was me projecting my own preference onto this story?Emotionally, spiritually, she’s a rock, and she’s clever enough to understand when it’s time to shut up and back off for the sake of her own and other people’s safety and well-being (yes, America Singer, this one was for you). The author throws you bits and pieces of violence and gut-wrenching scenes, enough to cut the story with cold, hard edges and imprint it with the necessary dangerous atmosphere.
