This is the perfect standalone book. It has a great start that sucks you right in, a fantastic world building that doesn't make you yawn and skip paragraphs, characters with more depth that striking blue eyes and dimples and beasts. Beasts, guys! I haven't even realized that I have a thing for fantasy books that involve beasts. Bad one, good ones, smart ones, stupid ones. I love the all, apparently! And this book has a bunch. I also has a cruel god, secluded villages and old fashioned rules that banishes anyone who doesn't fit the bill. Kind of. Read it, you'll see.
Okay, so I've told you what I like about this book. Let me tell you a bit more. I loved how Rasmira grows during the entire book. Sure, this could have been a duology to make the development take som more time, but she is cast out in to the wilderness and hellbent on surviving. A little growing up and learning by your mistakes is vital. I also loved both Soren and Iric, even though Iric is a bit petty and Soren is loyal to a fault. Take care of yourself, dude! Oh, and the way Levenseller writes. Yes! Her characters feels strong and the conversations lights up the story. As a feminist, seeing a female warrior battle between being a warrior and a woman is frustrating and I appreciate how Levenseller spun it.
What could have been better..? Honestly? I don't know, really. I mean, it's still YA. It has the same basic cornerstones, boys are still important. It's a bit strange that love and attraction is even in the picture when you've been betrayed and banished from your village, but I love me some good romance and this was done good. Without shame, with sound minds, so to speak. I saw someone complaining about the heroine being just another YA-heroine and I'm like, yeah? She is, because we're reading a YA novel. Just like one's reading another romance, thriller, mystery, feelgood. Things will repeat themselves, molds will be reused. That said, I really thought Rasmina was her own character and had her own charm.
I won't babble more about this, except to say that I recommend this if you want to read a great YA fantasy novel with a kickass female protagonist, beasts galore, self-discovery and teamwork.
That will be all, thank you.
