A review by acbwalsh
Furyborn by Claire Legrand
medium-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? It's complicated
- Loveable characters? No
- Diverse cast of characters? Yes
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

This is NOT a YA book, this is an adult book.
The potential for a good story is there, but both protagonists are annoying in their own special way and the plot is a liiiitle too thin, I was able to put most of the pieces together quickly. The constant flip flopping gets a little annoying, and also makes it hard to remember everything, especially after a break. The characters are just… FLAT and not very well written. The worldbuilding is both over and underdeveloped, since the magic system is fairly clean but I could not for the life of me place where Eliana was in time. I was shocked when someone pulled a gun. Lots of potential, but I think it’s being lost to unbearable characters.
