My Review
I received this book as part of an ARC for book 2, so thank you for that. As i loathe being chucked in the deep end with no back story on a sequel ARC 😂
The book started a little slow, but it quickly gained a fast, exciting, adventurous pace.
The world that Omayra has created here is so different to what I am used to, and I absolutely love it! Who would have thought prossies & angels & demons make for such an excellent read?! The author has fully developed the characters into believable portraits of ladies of the night, the angels/godly beings were peculiar but loveable and the demons had me laughing with their rage at failing at every corner, the shenanigans they attempted.
The feelings I felt toward the near end of the book when the virtues did the thing. My eyes started watering. I truly felt for the characters. My heart yearns for a happy ending for our young archer.
I’m going to recommend this book to all who will listen, as I feel people are missing out here!!
The story gets a solid 4* from me, I thoroughly enjoyed it. The only negative I have is there were a few instances of misspelled words, and grammatical errors.
Now.. onto book 2: for warriors! 🔥🗡️ I’m sure I will absolutely bloody love it!
Be aware the book contains mention of some sensitive subjects including miscarriage, rape, abortion, sex slave trade, murder, incest?, child loss
Although it is a fantastic adventure fantasy romance journey, it does touch upon those issues briefly. It does not detract from the story. It helps balance the world, just because they are fantasy characters doesn’t mean they do not suffer as we do. Be they Fae, elf, mage or human. We are kin. 💜🔥
