We have a very little sunny time while i'm typing which kind of contradict with the book atmosphere i'm introducing you to today but it's a book i'm more than honoured to had the opportunity to read as it's a formidable story.
And before giving you my opinion i want to precise it's a stand alone just released so if you just have to choose one book this month this is the one.
Happy reading

Short description from goodreads :
What would you pay for your freedom?
Caught by a powerful lord from the alternate realm of Arkavia, Taya’s offered the chance to avenge the dead, save her home world, and win her freedom.
Her days of stealing supplies and surviving among the remnants of Earth are over, but can she afford the price of Lord Thane’s deal?

My opinion:
Fabulous!!! This one is on my favourite shelf for sure! It can be dark ,
there are moment wonderfully written but sad
and some right at the beginning
but the story is simply great! Taya is caught in a situation not even nightmares
could have prepared her for but fortunately for her, her family wasn't like
every other so she isn't completely helpless.
Still we see a young girl loosing
everything but with a mind strong enough to keep fighting for her life and
freedom. I really loved this heroine.
The invaders are not so easy to
understand, there are divisions in their world too and some are not as bad as
others. Thane is a noble but second son but since the beginning he show some honour...then
he act with Taya giving her choice because he does detect something in her but
it goes deeper than that. He really understands her and he is a good soul
despite the family he has.
That reflect also in his choice of
companionship: Axel, Lokni and few others are more like brotherhood than
servants and they do include Taya in their rank without consideration of her
being female, she is part of their group thus get the same protection as any
other from said group.
There are intrigues as we discover the
Arkavia world, romance, lot of action as we follow Taya when she is trained then acting as bodyguard. there
also have some funny moment.
Really the rhythm is perfect! a real
page turner. It's a standalone and we
can appreciate that fully as when we
finish the book we do have all our answer, we can have a feeling of
satisfaction and still we are open to imagine
a sequel we don't need it, it probably not be written but we can easily
imagine it ourselves.
It's really a " coup de
coeur", i recommend it without hesitation
Score: 5/5
