Deze bespreking was geschreven voorLibraryThing lid Weggevers. I was given a copy of this book for review.I felt this book has potential, however, I did not really find myself immersed. I believe the problem is that the story starts abruptly and doesn't engage you. Why should I care about this character? I felt no attachment. It made it hard to engage with the story. Deze bespreking is geschreven door de auteur. What’s inside? Immortal Emrys, dragons, magical creatures, powers, light vs. darkness, and good vs. evil, revenge, love, hope . . .It a story that I wrote to be a quick read, not weighed down with lots of superfluous writing, but that is filled with lots of tension. Written for a YA audience (but readers of a mature age would enjoy it), and it is a clean story that I could let a fourteen year old read. If you like LOTR, the Hobbit, and Eragon you will like this book. AND it is much less boring—not heavy on the details that drag on and on . . . What’s my favorite part? The dragon humor. I have hilarious dragons. Oh, and you must not forget the romantic tension. And there is one part that always makes me cry. But you will have to read it to find out. Deze bespreking was geschreven voorLibraryThing lid Weggevers. Fascinating book that tells the struggle of the light and the dark forces, both inside of us and externally in battle. This story is exciting, has believable characters and causes strong emotion. The dragons are funny and likeable. The villain is evil. The characters are complex and interesting. A very good story. Deze bespreking was geschreven voorLibraryThing lid Weggevers. I had a hard time putting this novel down! The story was compelling and full of plot twists, the characters were complex and likeable (except for the hateful villain of course), and the descriptions felt natural. I can't wait to read the sequel! geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

Lost to the lies. Consumed by revenge.Unaware of her immortal heritage, the truth concealed from her, Ahnalyn learns she's a child of two worlds-a half-emrys with the ability to wield the light and the dark power. When Ahnalyn is taken captive by evil tyrant Lord Caedryn, Aneirin, a Son of Light, defies law and risks exile to come to her rescue.As Aneirin's life becomes entwined with Ahnalyn's, he is certain she belongs with the immortal emrys. But doubt and fear shroud Ahnalyn as the painful truths of her past unfold. Ahnalyn is thrown on a journey beyond her control, and she must sift through the lies Caedryn throws at her to uncover her true self and true potential, before the darkness consumes her.Half-Emrys: Master of Lies, a romantic fantasy, is the first book in The Emrys Chronicles and may be enjoyed as a standalone read. It is recommended to read this novel first, before the prequel, Fallen Emrys: Niawen's Story, to avoid any spoilers.*Note: This book was previously published as Master of Lies (Chronicles of the Half-Emrys Book 1)Romantic fantasy is for you if you like a light, character driven, more traditional fantasy plot, which includes two characters who find themselves drawn to each other, even if they start out as enemies. During a character's journey to develop powers and overcome trials, romance will ensue with bits of tension. The hero or heroine will undoubtedly be fighting some inner battle that makes them bulk at the chemistry with the other character until they slay their inner demons, save the world, and realize there is room in their heart to love.Romantic fantasy might not be for you if you prefer paranormal fantasy or epic fantasy. Romantic fantasy doesn't have the usual tropes of vampires and werewolves. Usually romantic fantasy novels are set in a high fantasy world, and an ultimate goal, besides love, is sought. Love is just the icing to the cupcake. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

This book is engaging, emotional, and full of plot twist. It is an easy read, and once past the first chapter I couldn't set the book down. Lisa Rector brings her character's to life from within the pages creating a relationship that for the reader that is personal. The family secrets, immortals, and dragons are just the beginning to this enchanting story. Love brings out the light in all darkness.
I would rate this book a 4 star and open to readers around the age of 13 and up. I was a bit hesitant in the first chapter which seemed slow to start, but soon found myself enthralled with Ahnalyn's journey. Since this is a series, I look forward to see what the future holds for this mystical world.
****I received a free copy of this book in exchange for my honest review. ( )
