![]() ![]() Rielle’s character development throughout the novel was credible and engrossing, especially when the voice of Corien is thrown into the mix. Learning the steps which led Rielle into becoming the reviled Blood Queen of prophecy is like putting together an intricate puzzle you don’t quite have the heart to complete. There is also the compelling dramatic irony running throughout, as we know from the first chapter that her story ends in tragedy. I did really enjoy Rielle’s point of view, and I felt connected to all of the characters around her. However, the rest of the book never quite manages to regain the exhilaration of its first chapter. I had high expectations for this novel, especially given the explosive prologue. As the book has dual point of views that are separated by millenia, it can at time feel disjointed. Sadly to say, the execution fell a little bit flat for me, I was only invested in one half of the narrative voices. ![]() ![]() On the other, we have Eliana, a cynical assassin who only knows Rielle as a bloody and half-forgotten legend. On the one hand, we have Rielle, who must conquer deadly trials to prove she is the predestined Sun Queen. Disclaimer: I received a copy of this book from NewSouth Publishing in exchange for an honest review.įuryborn is an ambitious fantasy following a prophecy about preordained queens and mythic reckoning over the course of thousands of years. ![]()
