Sonja J. Breckon

With the magic born of true friendship, this is an exciting tale with action and emotions from the first page to the last.

This story follows two heroines, who couldn't be more different. Sidra, a Myridian, was born with the destiny to end the world and wake the God of Neutrality...a fate she wants nothing to do with. On the other end, Breseis is a Myridian hunter, who wants more for her life than what she's expected to do as well. The two meet and things take off from there.

Just by reading the blurb, it's clear that this one is packed with tension pure from every angle. And it is. The forming friendship between Breseis and Sidra is amazing to follow and makes both a great pair to cheer for...and, of course, this doesn't run smoothly or easily but is sure and solid as an awesome friendship should be when they do come together. There is a slight romance mixed, but this flows on the side and doesn't overpower the main plot or the girls' friendship. Throw in the adventure and the entire idea of the world coming to the end, and there really isn't much time to be bored in this one.

The plot flows well and draws in, especially with something happening at every twist and turn. I did find it a bit slow at times in the middle, but it wasn't enough to make me loose interest. These characters grab too much for that. I did find the writing not the easiest read, but again, not enough to hurt the tale. This is a solid beginning to a new series, which promises tons of goodness to come. The worst part is waiting for book two to hit the world and find out what happens next.

I received a complimentary copy and enjoyed it.… (meer)
