Broken, Book I of The Breach Chronicles by Ivy Logan



Broken is Book One in The Breach Chronicles series by Ivy Logan. 

It is the tale of a young sorceress bereft of her powers but determined to avenge her family. She must rise from the ashes of destruction. Even though she thinks her heart is resistant, she can’t hide from love. Love find her and she finds the courage to stand tall because all that is Broken Is Not Lost. This is a tale of magic and mystery but also romance, family, and self - discovery.



Here's the synopsis:

The dark shadow cast by an ancient prophecy shatters an innocent family, but all that is broken is not lost.

Unaware of her supernatural legacy, half blood sorceress Talia has a unique childhood. Although protected by the love of her parents, Talia is instructed in the art of combat by her mother, Caitlin, a powerful sorceress of the Heichi clan.

When Talia’s family’s worst nightmare comes to pass, her protected life spins out of control. Everything she believes in and everyone she loves is cruelly snatched away and Talia is forced to flee the attentions of a mad king.

Choosing a path of retribution devoid of love and friendship, Talia comes to learn that love can be received even if it is not sought.

‘Broken’ chronicles, Talia’s rise from the ashes and how she finds herself again. She loses everything but never gives up on the Happily Ever After.

Set against a background of time travel and supernatural forces, read Talia’s epic saga of love, sacrifice, and discovering the hero within. Broken is thus the coming of age story of a girl who loses everything only to find herself and the courage to avenge her family, a tale of magic, mystery and romance.


My review:

A story about bravery, love, and how decisions can alter not just your fate, but the one of others. 
Caitlin is a Heichi sorcerer that has received a devastating prophecy, she is to do the unthinkable, betraying herself and what she believes on. 
Eventually, the weight of her curse falls upon her daughter's shoulders, Talia. A brave and loving girl, forced to become a woman sooner than she should have. But she embraces her fate head-on, with grace and courage despite the threat.
The message I received from Ivy Logan is "Love can conquer all"

A beautiful story.

35706339





























Synopsis
Bikinis…check. Plane ticket to Bali…check. Passport…check. Meeting a gorgeous man that makes you lose all self-control? 
After a recent break-up, the last thing on Hannah’s mind is finding Mr. Right. Wanting to enjoy the single life, she agrees to join her friends on a girl’s trip to Bali. Upon arriving it seems as if they’ve discovered paradise. Perfect weather, breathtaking resort, beautiful beaches and some very nice eye candy. Never in her wildest dreams could Hannah have imagined that locking eyes with a handsome stranger would completely change the course of her life. 
Callum moved to Bali nearly five years ago and has been living his dream ever since. Being a beach fanatic, it was no surprise that he landed a job as a watersports instructor. Life was good and he couldn’t ask for anything more, until he met Hannah. 
Follow Hannah and Callum as they begin a journey that neither are prepared for. Will it last? Will it remain a beautiful memory? Only time will tell. 

My review

It was a refreshing read. You know that feeling when you're stuck and you don't know what to read to feel better? Ta-da! Bali is a quick fix. 
Hannah and her friends were a joy to read, they are a support group for each other, and know how to have fun. Callum is a rather refreshing male lead, he's more than just a pretty face; he has a good heart and a fun personality.
There was some angst an emotional moments, but that didn't take away the enjoyment out of the story; quite the opposite, it made it feel real. 
Overall a fast paced and fun read. Perfect to grab after a rough day. Beautiful scenarios, humor, hot guys, what more can a girl ask for? You will devour Bali in no time.

Eliesmore and The Green Stone by Angela J. Ford

35565049Eliesmore and The Green Stone by Angela J. Ford
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

And I'm back in Angela J. Ford's world. This is the third book I've read from her and the lore just keeps getting better. This time Eliesmore is the protagonist, the chosen one a prophecy talks about, the one to put an end to the war that's ravaging the world.
He is not alone, his Company is a talented and brave one. Brave warriors that help the young and inexperienced Eliesmore find his way. My favorite without a doubt would be Visra, a fierce and unpredictable warrior with a crazy sense of humor, and a heart full of revenge.
There were new creatures to know, mysteries to uncover and quite a handful of epic battles. The characters are complex and bring their own element to the story. Recommended for those who like adventure and heroes in the making.

Keys of the Origin: Book 1: The scions of balance by Melissa A. Joy




Keys of the Origin by Melissa A. Joy
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Synopsis:
In a world where ancient races still dwell, 
the events of an age-old prophecy begin to stir. 
From the pages of an antique tome, 
there is much the ancients themselves have yet to learn.



The time has come for the Keys of the Origin to play their part in restoring balance to Aeldynn; but how will their choices affect the outcome?



Two young men; one a righteous law-abiding servant to the people, the other a distinguished outlaw, don't yet realise they are to play a part in a foretold bid for the future of Aeldynn. Fate leads them down a road they would never have dreamed of following; a road that leads them into a struggle to bring the world back into a state of balance from the precipice of madness and desolation.



It is not only Zehn and Larkh who are fated to take on the malevolent forces of Aeldynn; there are others who must join with them as they are coaxed into the embrace of the ancient Nays and the fabled Drahknyr, who are also entangled in the masterful puppeteering of a renegade sorceress hell bent on reviving the greatest threat of all; Alymarn.


Review:
It’s a shame I can't give it 10 stars! I'm obsessed. I'm looking forward to a re-read less than a day after finishing Keys of the Origin. I don't even know where to start.

The book begins with the awakening of the Kaesan’Drahknyr, the seven mighty warriors that protect Aeldynn. After a slumber of 3000 years, they are called to protect the balance between Aevnatureis and its evil counterpart Phandaerys. Not to mention the many races that dwell in Aeldynn, for evil rises one more time. And an ancient prophecy is becoming a reality.

Melkhar, the fiercest of the Kaesan’Drahknyr has been tasked with the protection of Arcaydia, a young woman with growing powers. On her way, Melkhar discovers the human kingdoms are on the brink of war. Forced to part ways with her protector, Arcaydia meets Larkh, he is a pirate, but not a typical one. Larkh is smart beyond his years and has more than a couple mysterious trades. Larkh is being chased by Zehn, a law enforcer that travels accompanied by a mage, Raeon.

Raeon is a Silver Mage, member of an order that follows the knowledge of the Nays, the ageless race that brought to physical existence the Drahknyr, and the Kaesan' Drahknyr.

Kalthis is also a Kaesan’ Drahknyr, he's in tune with nature in a unique way, which allows him to obtain knowledge no-one else can reach. All will be connected in the battle against Zerrçainne, a powerful sorceress that used to be a GalĂ©triahn Highlord, a Nays High Mage. She plots to rise to power through manipulation and dark sources of magica.

And that’s as far as I’ll go with details. Spoilers are a pain.

The plot is well-paced, allowing the reader to become familiarized with the lore and the characters right in the midst of great discoveries and epic battles. There are edge of the seat moments; it made wish I could read faster.

The characters have an ample specter, not only in personality and trades but also in kin. Humans, Nays, Elves, Drahknyr, hybrids... The reading is easy; despite being my first time reading about such a rich world it didn't become heavy in any moment. The way the story is told and the vivid descriptions made me feel at times like I was there watching everything happen; sometimes even like a video-game.

I love the way the eternal battle between the light and the darkness has been approached. It is a different way to tell such a story.

My favorite character without a doubt would be Melkhar; I knew it would be after reading just one line of her point of view. She is fierce, powerful, highly intelligent, and merciless when she has to be. There is much to learn from her; oftentimes, her actions reveal more than her words. She's refreshing. Not just for a female character but in general.

Overall, the best book I've read so far without a doubt. An epic story with mighty heroes, powerful villains, and beautiful lore. I can't wait to read more from Melissa Joy. Hell, I'd read her grocery list.
