In
a time of peace and treaties, the five kingdoms of Severi lay unguarded and
open to the dark hearts of man. Terdune, a neighboring land that had been at
constant war with Severi, was defeated over twenty years ago. All threats were
eradicated and its lands left without a ruler. Now a new evil reigns in Terdune
and slowly makes its way to its adjacent sister.
When
Edwin’s village is attacked, he is forced to travel halfway across the second
kingdom to the King’s Hold. Along the way he must learn the true power of the
gifts that were bestowed upon him and discover the meaning of the dreaded fate
attached to them.
My Review
The Five Kingdoms of Severi by Dora GonzálezMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
I enjoyed this very much! I'm really happy to add author Dora González to my fav authors. The writing style captivated me from the beginning and had me hooked to the story.
The story is from multiple perspective in third person which I loved cuz it fitted perfectly with the story. I loved the different POV's of characters. I liked to know them all and how all of them added to the story line.
Edwin is the main character in this most of the time lol. As I said earlier it has multiple POV's which made me feel everyone was main characters even the POV's from antagonist (I don't mean the main villain but a character who can get on the good side).
So Edwin and Alden are the main characters but I enjoyed the POV's of their parents. I liked that fact cuz I've not read YA books from parent's POV which was new and great for me!
I liked Alden in beginning but by end I liked Edwin more. They were both nice.
I loved this book and am looking forward for the sequel and Dora's writing. Got the book in exchange of an honest review.
