Blade Breaker: The brand new fantasy masterpiece from the Sunday Times bestselling author of RED QUEEN

Product Information

Comment by DreycraftThis was up on Stormrage-US today, and I can confirm that they lowered the difficulty tremendously considering I was reading some comments saying how difficult Saurfang was. It led to a very disjointed tone and made Blade Breaker feel like it didn’t really know what it wanted to be—a serious epic fantasy series, a fantasy parody, or a teen romance. Due to the lack of exposition in world-building and character development, as well as the incessant telling, I could never quite care or feel any tension about what was happening and instead cared more about when the novel would end. Characters have no issue literally announcing “into the jaws of death we go” or that their companions “remained silent, bent but not broken, resolute before their doom.

On the contrary I found the first book confusing and long winded, and because of that I didn't start reading blade breaker for nearly two years after I finished realm breaker. I then logged and relogged in front of Helgar until a say bubble appeared over his head commenting on my sword. The Gold Leaf Book Box edition is signed and has gold sprayed edges and a gold foil design embossed on the hardcover.The exclusive edition from Waterstones is signed and has an alternative cover and red sprayed edges. Nothing reflects her youth as much as her journey of finding her own path even as she goes through the motions of following the path in front of her.

While the story isn’t perfect, there is a lot to love in the latest installment of the “Realm Breaker” series.

Blade Breaker does a mediocre job at convincing me that Andry and Corayne have somewhat of a bond—it still feels mainly like they’re the only two people traveling the world of the same age and similar trauma. This is something I raved about in book one, but again, I am loving that Aveyard doesn’t let Corayne, the chosen one, dominate the story.

And Corayne, a pirate's daughter with an ancient magic in her blood, steps closer to becoming the hero she's destined to be.

And it certainly doesn’t help that most of what we learn about these characters is told to readers outright, not shown through flashbacks, or demonstrated by triggered memories. There are dragons, giant bears, invading armies, beheadings… Victoria really knows how to keep me sat and gagged! After this quest is obtained, go down to Dalaran, and talk to Saurfang, go through the chat dialogues with him. Yes, it doesn’t do the trauma justice, but if you’re writing a fantasy adventure on the road, already bogged down by the wait for the next destination, and are doing your best to make the journey itself captivating, cutting down on repetition can go a long way. The cast is so colorful and fun and has genuine chemistry that even their boring travel montages are made entertaining through their biting remarks and dialogue.
