Ugh. I wanted to love this new series and world,but I didn’t. It was very disappointing. I almost DNF.
The entire book was very slow and didn’t really pick up at all. The characters had potential, but they never evolved for me. It ended up being very confusing and hard to follow at times.
I had high hopes after absolutely loving the Red Queen series, which is SO much better than this.
Overall, read The Red Queen and don’t waste your time with The Realm Breaker.

I read this book because it was a historical fantasy others were recommending.
Characters: Too many POVs made it confusing at times. I could only get into a few of characters.
Those that I did get into were great (Severin and Laila)
World: I really enjoyed the world building. I liked the magical aspect and the Paris vibe. Well done!
Plot: The plot started out slow, I almost DNF. I kept reading because the Severin POV chapters drew me in.
Writing: The writing style was good, but very confusing. I kept having to go back and look which character she was talking about.
Summary: Decent, confusing historical fiction fantasy book. Will read book 2 because I heard it was better and I invested in the series.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2 (4.5)
This is a great fast read for YA lovers! I went into it having no idea what it was about and was pleasantly surprised that it wasn’t about magic.
I loved the sea-faring world Adrienne created. The details of sailing and knowledge of gems did not go unnoticed. I really like when I learn something in a book.
The characters were well developed and easy to follow.
The pace was great—I never got bored.
My absolute favorite part was Saint’s parallel to the author’s own father.
Well done!
