Meh. I love Rielle, and she might be the only reason I continue. Eliana just doesn’t hit the same. But the last few chapters she started to get me so we’ll see if she grows on me in the next one. Also, holy shit, Angels? Did not expect that.

I went into Furyborn with not many expectations and I was throughly surprised by how much I enjoyed this book! I found both Rielle and Eliana to be complex female characters who are flawed but are trying to do their best. I thought the magic system was really interesting. Legrand also fleshed out all the secondary in a way that made them feel full and developed.

The setup, magic system and the world building were really good and interesting, it's what pulled me in and what motivates me to read the second part.
Some of the characters I loved others I think weren't fully fleshed out (Simon espacially)

He switches personality a lot and his relationship with Eliana kinda just jumps to romance out of nowhere

The pace was slow and there's a while in the middle where not much happens just fights, that got a bit boring, but it didn't bother me that much.
Honestly the book has its flaws but I still enjoyed it throughout so I give it 4☆
