A review by lyricallit
Furyborn by Claire Legrand

adventurous dark medium-paced
  • Diverse cast of characters? Yes

3.0

Enjoyed it but saw a lot of repeated tropes with another "romantasy" I'd just read. I am interested enough to see how this wraps up, and I am willing to commit to a trilogy for that, but any more than that would be a no. The pacing was a bit uneven, and it took me awhile to really get invested. I have a better sense of who Rielle is vs Eliana.

As a woman in the Bible belt American South, I saw a great deal of potential early on for criticisms of organized religion & its use of women. By the conclusion, however, I felt as though that thread got muddled. I am hoping this feminist theme develops further in the other novels.
