We wouldn’t find a resolution until two chapters later just every chapter jumped between Rielle and Eliana. A major part of that is the dual POVs that we get.Īs much as I liked the different POVs, I often found at the end of each chapter was constantly a cliffhanger. This is definitely one of the best examples of world building I’ve read in a series, where the entire first book is getting us ready for the rest of the series. I wasn’t surprised by the revelation at the end (I actually don’t know if we are supposed to be?), so the build up for me was definitely waiting to find out when Eliana and Rielle both learn the truth ( Eliana about her heritage and Rielle about Corien). Starting with Rielle at 20, and then jumping back to her at 18 so that we are reading about the dramatically different lives for her and Eliana was a brilliant idea and gives us both the lead by the the war and the aftermath of the Emperor taking power. I loved that we were given two distinct POVs from two women, both at age 18, but taking place 1,000 years apart. I had seen it on a few instastories and it kept catching my eye, so I thought I’d grab it and give it a read myself. This was the case for Furyborn by Claire Legrand. To be completely honest, sometimes I pick up a book simply because and author that I like or another book reviewer that I trust has taken a picture of it, talked about it, or really hyped it up.
