A Typical YA Fantasy

I listened to the audiobook version, namely because I love Fiona Hardingham as a narrator, and I've been looking for interesting fantasy novels. Furyborn is told in two parts: Eliana, assassin and bounty hunter for the empire, and Rielle, the much-feared and mythical blood queen. It might be because of the format (ie. audiobook) but I missed a huge plot point: these two parts take place 1,000 years apart. Because I missed that, I knew what was supposed to be a huge plot twist right away and the impact of the reveal was severely lessened.
Rielle's storyline is pretty typical of YA fantasy: girl has unique and extremely powerful magic that she must learn to control; in this fight for control, she often endangers, alienates, or kills people she cares about; she figures it out, becomes an almost divine figure, and gets the boy. However, what sets Rielle apart is that it doesn't come without a cost, and there's something much larger going on behind the scenes.
I found myself more drawn to Eliana, who is desperate and violent and special in a quieter way: she cannot be killed. Her occupation as indestructible bounty hunter and scourge of the streets in her city comes into question when she makes a deal with a rebel leader. Violent and rife with movement and politics, Eliana's story is the aftermath of the destruction Rielle caused. However, Eliana also falls prey to the YA Fantasy tropes when she discovers that she is more than just an indestructible girl.
