Thank you, Claire, for writing this epic fantasy of headstrong, powerful women.
Furyborn’s chapters alternate between two points of view that, although they are separated by a thousand years, both face institutionalized corruption as they fight to survive to protect their secrets and those they love.
Rielle has spent her life in the royal court hiding that she can control all seven elemental powers, while being trained in secret. Eliana, a bounty hunter one thousand years later, has resigned herself to a life of violence to support her injured mother and younger brother in a generation where magic has disappeared. I love the magical world-building where the elements have become a form of religion with influence on the monarchy and I look forward to learning more about the individual elements and delving more into their history and their involvement with the angels, as well as its downfall, in books two and three.
For the first few chapters, it is a little jarring to go from one to the other. Once you have adjusted and are absorbed by the two story lines, the switch just makes it even more difficult to put the book down. You can’t just read one more chapter, you must read two to find out what happens next.
The characters in this book are primarily morally gray, especially the two main protagonists. You will love them, but also often disagree with their choices as they fight their way through a series of threatening situations. This was an overall great read and I look forward to continuing the series.
