charliauthor 's review for:
Furyborn
by Claire Legrand
I enjoyed this. When I was rushing to find every waking moment to be able to read it, it shows that I was invested in the story lol
Where I felt the book was let down a little, was just the ambiguous nature of the writing in an attempt to make it mysterious when most of it was pretty straightforward.
That being said, while a lot of things were obvious, in terms of figuring out the plot twists/surprises, there was still some confusion with certain names, regions, magic, etc.
I came away, finally understanding, what was going on, which was great, but there was still some levels of explanation to be desired.
Now, I did enjoy the main characters. Sometimes when a book has a dual POV or multiple POVs, there are characters you like better than others, and therefore some of the chapters will drag. This was not the case with Furyborn, and I was just as excited to read about Rielle as well as Eliana, which was a positive.
Eliana, however, did have a bit of attitude at the beginning, which I didn’t think was particularly warranted. When another character spat in her face, i actually rejoiced 😂
Also, i will say that her relationship with Simon is a tad confusing. Considering the nature of their initial relationship, I was concerned by the romantic development. Surely this isnt legal?! Lol
Corien is definitely an interesting character and a good example of the dark and mysterious sexy bad boy that we all know and love. I’m interested to see more of him and his development as well as Rielle’s, in relation to him.
Overall, some great worldbuilding, a interesting magic system and characters that you can get behind. This was an enjoyable read and definitely a recommendation for YA but with a fair amount of adult and spice to keep it interesting.
