“No amount of squiring had prepared for a girl like Corayne. I wasn’t expecting much romance in this novel however this quote from Andry about Corayne was phenomenally written! There are hints with Taristan and Erida, Corayne and Andry, and even Sorassa and Dom. But I loved reading about their journey together in this novel. No doubt Taristan has plans of his own when it comes to Erida.
Taristan, on the other hand shows a softer unrefined side when he’s with the queen. Erida knows Taristan is too powerful, but she’s willing to play a long game with him to secure power. I was shocked at Erida’s betrayal but also admired her for it. But then Erida marries Taristan, securing a powerful and dangerous alliance. Now at 19, she’s mastered her poker face, and when Andry warns Erida of the undead army, she appears understanding.
First, the powerful queen Erida who took over the throne at the age of 15. Good stuff.īesides those similarities, some things stood out to me in this novel. Then there’s a whole undead soldier subplot. It is super similar there even is a red wizard guiding a power-hungry prince. It’s well written and the abundance of characters, perspectives, and world-building gave this fantasy story a Game of Thrones feel. But when Sorrassa and Dom offer Corayne the opportunity to help save the realm, she simply cannot refuse. She longs for adventure, but her mother believes Corayne does not have the heart of a killer or the spine.
Dom hires a disgraced assassin with attitude, Sorassa, to help search for the child of Cortael, Corayne.Ĭorayne is the daughter of a pirate and a prince. When Dom returns home, he learns that Prince Cortael has a child, and she might be their only hope to save the realm. But her actions suggest she’s sympathetic to Andry. Erida appears to take Andry’s account to heart but finds the army of the undead a bit far-fetched. But then the Prince’s evil twin, Taristan, and his army of the undead slaughter everyone except Domacridhan and Andry, who both flee.Īndry then informs Queen Erida of all that he has seen. However, I decided to give Aveyard another chance with Realm breaker.Īndry is a humble squire sent to war to battle alongside immortal soldiers and the chosen Prince Cortael of old Cor. I loved Red Queen but not so much its sequel. Aveyard is best known for her YA Fantasy series Red Queen. Realm Breaker is a Young Adult High Fantasy adventure by Victoria Aveyard.
