Years
ago the Kahlotah helped a group of people from the Nazahpas defect to their
lands where they now call themselves Anonlah. They live peacefully in Kahlotah
lands even though many of the Kahlotah people resent the sacrifice of their men
in battle when they helped the Anaonlah defect. Many years have passed and
Gideon and his Band of Brothers have come under the attention of Nemmin, the
Kahlotah Chief Captain. He has a job offer for Gideon and his Brothers, to
guard the Princess Aliya when the King travels to Nazahpas lands to negotiate
another treaty. However, when Gideon and Aliya meet there is something more
going on that neither understand. The Whisperings tell Gideon she’s the One and
Aliya is doing her best to avoid touching him despite the overwhelming urge to
do so. Both are unsure what their gifts are trying to tell them and those who
know aren’t talking. Will they figure it all out in time to prevent tragedy?
It
took me a bit to figure out the world in this YA Fantasy, but once I did I fell
into it only to surface occasionally when the characters uttered current slang
which sounded wrong for this richly detailed world. Gideon is a wonderful hero.
I love him. Aliya is a snobbish rich beyotch and I could not stand her for most
of the book. I could and yet I couldn’t understand her loyalty to her dumbass
boyfriend, Zaeron. Wow. What a douchebag that guy is and yet Aliya puts up with
him. I find it hard to believe a Princess would allow a lowly guard treat her
the way he does. Anyway, there’s also some mysterious goings on behind the
scenes to pique my interest, but then there’s a cliffhanger. Grrr! Overall
though this is a lovely clean romance set in a fantasy world.
About the Author
Sofia St. Angeles is the debut author of Siren Tamer. She's a stiletto-wearin', pirouette-turnin', book-lovin' gal who loves to archetype people. Archetype people? Yeah. It's a new character tool she's developed. Okay. It's really her obsession. She's fascinated by what makes people and characters so great. Thus, she spends her spare time asking people all sorts of fun questions, really getting to know what makes them tick! In another life, she hopes to be a big-haired match maker somewhere in Texas. As of now, she lives with her hunky hubby in the land of vampires and werewolves.
I'm tempted yet I'm reluctant about that kind of heroin... I'll think about it - great review !
ReplyDeleteShe's annoying, but gets better. Does that help? :D
