Rating: 🌟🌟
My Review: I am so devastated right now!! I wanted to love this book so much and this is a signed copy to ME!! And I hate it. There I said it I did not care about the characters and jump in timelines and POVs just irritated the everliving crap out of me. This story about two queens set 1000 years apart was one that I thought was going to be perfect. But the jump between the two characters alternated each chapter so I was never given the chance to fall for anyone. Add into that the enormous amount of cast, political people, and all the other kingdoms and this just ended up being confusing on top of boring.
I say that if you ever feel like you need a float chart for a story then this book might not be for you.
"Claire Legrand's Furyborn is as complex as the angels it depicts-captivating and lovely, volatile and deadly. The contrast of elegant, stately court politics with gritty, blood-soaked war is balanced perfectly alongside shifting timelines, blurred prophecies, and a sprawling cast of characters, each more alluring than the last. Furyborn is a sexy, luscious shiver of a book." - Sara Raasch, New York Times bestselling author of the Snow Like Ashes Trilogy
