I thought the fact that the chapters just went back and forth between Eliana and Rielle was a bit annoying. In Eliana’s time I liked the princess (whose name escapes me, but starts with an N), and I liked her and Eliana’s friendship, but I thought Remy was super annoying, and I didn’t care about Simon. Ludvine was the one person who felt a little off to me in Rielle’s time, but that’s actually explained. I also liked the characters around Rielle far more interesting than I liked those around Eliana. Like she actually puts the people she cares for in danger to pursue the more dangerous and worse option for absolutely no reason. While Rielle wanted to protect those she loved and be loved, Eliana’s motivations felt hollow. They’re both super brash and reactionary, but I understood Rielle’s motivations a lot more than I understood Eliana’s. It took me about 100 pages to like Rielle, and it took me until about 50 pages to the end to care about Eliana. If you hate Eliana and Rielle, you are probably not going to like this one, and they’re hard characters to like. Turns out Furyborn is the highest rated of my most anticipated reads of the year so far, so at least it worked out.įuryborn is a very character-driven story. Thinking back on it now, I’m not even really sure why I pre-ordered it. So this book unexpectedly involved angels and I didn’t hate it!?! Like this was one of my 4 beginning of the year pre-orders, but turns out I knew nothing about it. Number of times read (including the time before this review): 1
