Daughter of No Worlds by Carissa Broadbent
Solid 5 stars!
It took me a while to finally read this book, and oh my goodness â what a rollercoaster it was. Heartbreaking at times, incredibly sweet at others, and action-packed all the way through.
What is it about?
A former slave fighting for justice. A reclusive warrior who no longer believes it exists. And a dark magic that will entangle their fates.
Ripped from a forgotten homeland as a child, Tisaanah learned how to survive with nothing but a sharp wit and a touch of magic. But the night she tries to buy her freedom, she barely escapes with her life.
Desperate to save the best friend she left behind, Tisaanah journeys to the Orders, the most powerful organizations of magic Wielders in the world. But to join their ranks, she must complete an apprenticeship with Maxantarius Farlione, a handsome and reclusive fire wielder who despises the Orders.
The Ordersâ intentions are cryptic, and Tisaanah must prove herself under the threat of looming war. But even more dangerous are her growing feelings for Maxantarius. The bloody past he wants to forget may be the key to her future⌠or the downfall of them both.
But Tisaanah will stop at nothing to save those she abandoned. Even if it means gambling in the Ordersâ deadly games. Even if it means sacrificing her heart.
Even if it means wielding death itself. (Goodreads)
I canât even express how much I loved Max and Tisaanah. Tisaanah is such a strong, resilient, and fierce woman. Despite all the pain and injustices sheâs faced, she keeps going â and I canât help but admire her for that. Max is such a different MMC in many ways, and I loved that about him. He completely stole my heart. Their relationship was everything â the slow, steady build, the friendship that turns into love â chefâs kiss. The friends-to-lovers trope is so underrated, and itâs always so refreshing to see it in fantasy.
And even though the romance is beautiful and plays such an important role, the plot itself is SO SO SO good. The stakes are high, the world is complex, and the cast of characters â from morally grey to truly evil â keeps you hooked from start to finish.
If you havenât read this series yet, do yourself a favour and pick it up. Itâs easily one of my top reads this yearÂ
Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC. All opinions are my own.
