Daughter of No Worlds
by Carissa Broadbent
Blurb:
Ripped from a forgotten homeland as a child, Tisaanah learned how to survive with nothing but a sharp wit and a touch of magic. But the night she tries to buy her freedom, she barely escapes with her life.
Desperate to save the best friend she left behind, Tisaanah journeys to the Orders, the most powerful organizations of magic Wielders in the world. But to join their ranks, she must complete an apprenticeship with Maxantarius Farlione, a handsome and reclusive fire wielder who despises the Orders.
The Orders’ intentions are cryptic, and Tisaanah must prove herself under the threat of looming war. But even more dangerous are her growing feelings for Maxantarius. The bloody past he wants to forget may be the key to her future… or the downfall of them both.
But Tisaanah will stop at nothing to save those she abandoned. Even if it means gambling in the Orders’ deadly games. Even if it means sacrificing her heart.
Even if it means wielding death itself.
Fans of epic romantic fantasy like Sarah J. Maas and Raven Kennedy will devour this tale of dark magic, passionate romance, vengeance, and redemption.
My Review:
My book club picked this one, and I went in
open minded and came out with a head full of questions and a heart full of
feelings I am still trying to sort through, which honestly might be exactly
what this book intended.
Here is where I land: I enjoyed it and I was
confused by it in almost equal measure. There is something this series is
building toward, some connection that is hovering just out of reach, and I can
feel it the way you feel a word sitting on the tip of your tongue. It is there.
I know it is there. And I have a feeling that when it finally clicks into
place, this series is going to become a five star read for me without question.
The potential is absolutely sitting in these pages, I just need the next
installment to unlock it.
In the meantime, can we talk about Max?
Because out of every character in this book, Max was the only one consistently
making sense to me. While everything else was beautifully chaotic and
mysterious and pulling in a dozen directions at once, Max was a fixed point. I
appreciated that more than I expected to.
This is a series built for readers who love
their fantasy wrapped in mystery, who do not mind a world that is genuinely
harsh on its characters and does not soften the edges to make anyone
comfortable. If that sounds like your kind of reading experience, and it
absolutely is mine, this will be right up your alley.
I will be continuing this series. I do not
know exactly when, but the pull is already there. This world is not done with
me yet, and I suspect I am not done with it either.
