Nothing is as it seems in the kingdom of Antora. Kestra
Dallisor has spent three years in exile in the Lava Fields, but that won't stop
her from being drawn back into her father's palace politics. He's the right
hand man of the cruel king, Lord Endrick, which makes Kestra a valuable
bargaining chip. A group of rebels knows this all too well -- and they snatch
Kestra from her carriage as she reluctantly travels home.
The kidnappers want her to retrieve the lost Olden Blade, the
only object that can destroy the immortal king, but Kestra is not the obedient
captive they expected. Simon, one of her kidnappers, will have his hands full
as Kestra tries to foil their plot, by force, cunning, or any means necessary.
As motives shift and secrets emerge, both will have to decide what -- and who
-- it is they're fighting for.
Jennifer A. Nielsen introduces us to an unforgettable new
heroine in this epic tale of treachery and intrigue, love and deceit.
My Review: DNF.
There was just something about this book that I couldn’t stand.
About 6 chapters in and I still couldn’t get into this book at all. It’s a long
backstory about Kestra and then when something finally happens in the book, it
still didn’t go anywhere for me.
I think this book could have used way more detail in the beginning
about Kestra, without needing so many chapters to explain her back story. The
other scenes could have been done much better as well.
