Realm Breaker
Realm Breaker | Victoria Aveyard
Irresistibly action-packed and full of lethal surprises, this stunning new fantasy series from Victoria Aveyard, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Red Queen series, begins where hope is lost and asks: When the heroes have fallen, who will take up the sword? A strange darkness grows in Allward. Even Corayne an-Amarat can feel it, tucked away in her small town at the edge of the sea. She soon discovers the truth: She is the last of an ancient lineageand the last hope to save the world from destruction. But she wont be alone. Even as darkness falls, she is joined by a band of unlikely companions: A squire, forced to choose between home and honor. An immortal, avenging a broken promise. An assassin, exiled and bloodthirsty. An ancient sorceress, whose riddles hide an eerie foresight. A forger with a secret past. A bounty hunter with a score to settle. Together they stand against a vicious opponent, invincible and determined to burn all kingdoms to ash, and an army unlike anything the realm has ever witnessed.

I was prepped to love this, and feel super let down that I didn‘t. I just couldn‘t engage with the story or the characters, which left no reason to keep reading. I just didn‘t care about anything or anyone. Maybe I‘m just not in the mood for high fantasy, but I gave it 200 pages and then gave up. Too much of a waste of reading time…

Thank God for the audiobook, if not I would never finish it. It had a very engaging prologue and then it all died out as the chapter went on and on. 90% of the book, the survivor of the battle just wander around finding people for their journey. Lastly, the characters are boring, the plot is flat, the actions almost non existent except the beginning and the end. So far from my expectation 😞😞

I liked the premise: mismatch group of people who are trying to save the world. Characters felt a bit flat - I liked them but didn't love.

I love atmospheric books but this was a bit tasteless. This had some hilarious sentences but I would have loved to feel more.

It makes always reading a bit more interesting if there is some clear goal where things are aiming to.

I wanted to love this book. I like the author and I'm a huge fan of high fantasy. I got both the hardbound and the audiobook from the library. The audio sped things up for me but I had to DNF around the 80% mark. I just found that I didn't care about any of the characters or their quest. The world-building isn't complicated and there is a nicely diverse cast of characters but...it was just so boring. Maybe there is a great plot twist at the end?

A couple Goodreads giveaways I‘ve recently won arrived in the mail today!

I didn‘t care for the Red Queen series by Victoria Aveyard when it originally came out, and I don‘t think I read beyond the first book, but I am totally open to giving her new series a fresh shot.

TrishB I really enjoyed Realm Breaker- next one has just been published. 2y

Yeah I know I‘m not going to be with the majority with this one at all. Bought it last year and I started it the day it released. And I just finished it today. That‘s a long time in the way I read. Just couldn‘t connect to the plot. Characters were legit the only reason I hung in there. #100readschallenge

I‘ve not felt like reading fantasy for a long time, just fell out of love with it. But you know how your reading brain just says now is the day 😁 ( oh and just because I wasn‘t reading it didn‘t mean I wasn‘t buying it!) obviously.
I really enjoyed this and can tell it‘s going to be a great trilogy/series! Good cast of characters and the usual good v evil tussle has started.
Already preordered the signed, special edition of number 2.

I had high hopes for this book. I really enjoyed the Red Queen series by this author. However, I found this book hard to follow…I didn‘t get into it until the last 100 pages. Places and things weren‘t clearly introduced…they were just mentioned, and we are just supposed to know what they are…? Meh.

I don‘t know if it‘s the story or my current state of mind, but this is a slow read. I flew through her red Queen series…is it me?

Akidna It's the same for me. This is the third time I've picked it up, wanting to read it and I just honestly can't get into it? 2y

While it took me months to finish this behemoth I mostly enjoyed the experience. I liked the ragtag found family banding together to oppose Taristan, and the world building was strong. Not sure I‘ll read the next one… well have to see.

Started reading this forever ago, put it down, and finally picked it back up to finish it off. Wasnt a bad book just wasn‘t the right time I guess. I really liked this. Lots of world building and such but the story was interesting with so many character perspectives and a kind of found family thing going on! #bookspinbingo

So excited for this book. I love Victoria aveyard and was thrilled to read a series of hers from the start of it being published. This reads like an old school fantasy saga but faster paced. Loved the characters and the humor. Looking forward to book 2, eventually. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫

I just didn't enjoy this book like I thought I would. The idea behind it sounded amazing, but the actual book had a lot of stuff that felt pointless. It might have been building up for the rest of the series, or maybe I just don't care about the characters. Either way, I still finished it and I will probably read the other books in the series, but it isn't one of my favorites.

I LOVE books where the "heroes" are morally gray (or even evil!), so right away I knew this book was for me!

The ragtag group trying to save the world (before killing each other) are a pirate's daughter, a noble squire, an honorable 'immortal', an assassin, a witch, a bounty hunter, and a forger who used to be a priest.

Promises are made. Loyalties tested. Trust broken.

And now I have to wait for book two. ?

I'm about halfway through this audiobook and the story is starting to come together. This is one case where I really wish there was a different narrator for the parts that focus on different characters, because I have gotten a bit lost a time or two.

mavey @Branwen And I heard Victoria's writing the sequel and is on a superclose deadline of two months and rigorous work. 3y
mavey @Branwen Will you be telling me this one's better than Red Queen?🥺 So many great stories on the loose and my control wants to run away with them too!😐😂 3y
Branwen @Mavey Actually...I did like this better than Red Queen! 😂🤣 It's just so much bigger of a story, and the world building blew my mind! 3y
mavey @Branwen Gosh damned if I do, a lil damned if I don't. This one has to be a vacation read. Does this end on a cliffhanger? A good romance on the upfront like RedQueen? I am TeamMaven! 3y
Branwen @Mavey It does end abruptly and on a bit of a cliffhanger, unfortunately! 😭 There are, I think, going to be two main couples within the protagonist group. But! It's a very very very slow burn on them both. It's hinted at, and will probably be explored in greater depth in book 2 I'm thinking! 3y
mavey @Branwen Thanks so much! That's seems like a good reason to put it off for some time!🤣😅 Have you read the Blood And Ash Series by Jennifer L Armentrout? 3y
mavey Hey @Branwen have you heard about this new app called Readerly? I actually got it because of Litten here in Litsy. It's amazing and I have a strong feeling this could turn into the next big thing in our bookish community! You check it out and if you like it, I can send you the invite code 3y
Branwen @Mavey YES! I really LOVE that series! I have the first three so far, but I've only read books one and two as of right now! 3y
mavey @Branwen Wait. Are you telling me you have the third book and have read the first two only? After 'that' cliffhanger!? 3y
mavey @Branwen Ooh you should read it!! It was so so good with great twists and revelations! I can't wait for the next book till March 2022. But thankfully because of the amazing JLA, October will be great! 3y

I am 10 1/2 hours into the #20in4 Readathon. Still have the rest of today and am also off tomorrow, woohoo! Finished this chunky book today. I really enjoyed this one. I think I read somewhere that the author wanted to make a Lord of the Rings type story but with females also. That's how this one feels. A rag tag group comes together to save the Realm. But so much stands in their way. Truly enjoyable.
