Fall of Ruin and Wrath: 1 (Awakening)

Product Information

I wanted to read this in the hopes that because it's with Pan MacMillan, it will have been edited well and the pacing issues will be improved if not eradicated. When the Baron takes an interest in the prince, and the prince takes an interest in Calista, she becomes the latter’s temporary companion. Fall of Ruin and Wrath is pure Jennifer L Armentrout magic at its core and one that everyone needs to indulge themselves in. Our protagonist, Calista, is a gifted mind reader who grew up as an orphan on the streets, struggling with poverty and abandonment. I couldn’t take that second, because the longer I held Naomi’s hand, the more likely it was that I would end up seeing things about her she might not want to know or want me to learn.

I think she gave us jus5 the right amount of background info and world building to kick things off without making it overwhelming. The detailed and vividly depicted dystopian meets high fantasy world building, along with the intricately crafted magic system, is executed flawlessly. So many either starved or broke their backs in the mines or risked their lives on hunts to keep their families fed while the aristo—Hyhborn and the wealthiest of lowborn—became richer, the poor even more impoverished.

As the story goes on, she slowly converts into Poppy, finds herself a dagger and stars throwing things to MMC. If you are a fan of fantasy books with incredible world-building, romance, drama and characters to fall. It’s a sensual, dangerous romp involving mortal and immortal dynamics, but behind closed doors and on the field of rebellion. When Deminyens emerged from the ground, it was said they came into existence fully formed and were ageless, capable of manipulating the elements and even the minds of others.

Lis has no idea that Thorne is actually a prince – and one of the most powerful beings in the kingdom.And the scene she was led to was terrifying, yet I couldn't help but noticing that I loved her thoughts.

When the Baron takes an interest in the prince, and the prince takes an interest in Calista, she becomes the latter's temporary companion. Procede to add bits of plot in the last 15% of the book, in between some intense action scenes, so you can prepare a cliffhanger to hook readers for a second book.

I was so into it, that I caved in and bought the audiobook, to continue the story on my way to work, because I couldn’t put the book down and I was going to be late if I kept reading. Her characters never fail to engage me, and with each chapter, the tension builds and the chemistry between them becomes more intense. Naomi asked after a handful of moments, her voice lighter than it had been when she walked into the chamber. My reluctance had little to do with Claude, even though he didn’t like it when I used my foresight—my heightened intuition—for anyone but him.

Because there were so many more ways they could prove that they cared for us lowborn, starting with providing food throughout the year to those in need.

But at the same time I LOVED it and it's imperfections cause the writing has improved big time, believe you me. It was the same in all the places Grady and I had lived in before the Midlands’ city of Archwood, which had caused me to be accused of being a conjurer and led to us fleeing in the middle of the night more times than I cared to remember to avoid the hangman’s noose. I wasn’t excited to read to begin with because I think my time with JLA books has expired, but it was even worse than I was expecting.Jennifer armentrout è fenomenale nel raccontare il crescendo dell'attrazione attraverso frecciatine, canzonature, e flussi di coscienza divertenti. One night, Lis follows her intuition and saves a Hyhborn, essentially a god-like being, from his demise at the hands of mortals. I really liked her interactions with her prince, Thorne, as she learns more about him and his powers. A lot of information is dumped on you in the beginning and it took a while for me to process that information and apply it to what was happening on the page. They could take different shapes, whip rivers into a frenzy with a flick of their wrists, and even seize the souls of the lowborn, creating the terrifying creatures known as the Rae.
