I totally enjoyed reading this book! While it was not what I expected, there is something unique and original about it. The beginning of the book at first was a bit confusing to me but as I read on, I slowly began to understand the plot.

My favourite character is Talgel. I love how strong she is and how she didn't let her disability stop her from achieving great things. I do wish there was a lot of her POV though. I was always looking forward to her chapters.

Overall, this was a great read, and I am looking forward to reading the second book! ( )

I am so excited that this book is finally getting released after a whopping 3 years of waiting. I cannot write a review on my own work because that would look cheesy, but I would have probably given it 4 stars, haha.

Oh, and this gorgeous cover was drawn by the insanely talented Ukrainian artist Armd. I have loved working with her and hope she can draw the cover for the sequel. She truly captured Talgel's cruelty and aura of mystery in her drawing.

And according to my faithful beta reader that has always read my books and wanted to know, Henrietta's secret identity will be revealed in the upcoming sequel and finale of this duology. Stay tuned!

Fragmented Fates takes place in a magical world, in the city of Almjarhad. Almjarhad is a newly developed city within a vast desert, populated by Elves and Harlequins and their offspring. An exiled elf, Lord Jamarnid, rules alongside his halfling son Jarahad. They help guide their people, as their city is built from the ground up. Jarahad is deeply in love with Talgel, a gifted woman who can see the future. Though she loves him too, she refuses to marry for reasons unknown to any but herself. When she sees a troubling vision of the future for Almjarhad, Talgel begins pulling the strings of those around her, to shape the future in the way she prefers. This deeply involves the leader of the Harlequins as well as a young halfling boy named Tioja. What will the future entail? Only Talgel knows.

As this story started, I was fairly confused as to what was going on. Some of the high fantasy names were too similar, and it felt like I was just thrown into the world, with little backstory. I did eventually settle into the rhythm of the story, but never felt fully satisfied. The writing felt stilted, which kept me out of it a bit. The magic system is quite different, with magic users each summoning a special beast/demon that is unique to their magic. I like this system, though I'm not sure I fully understand it even after finishing the novel. I also liked the slowly developing mystery of Talgel's vision. I didn't feel much of a connection to any of the characters, though Talgel was probably my favorite. I am curious to see how the action will ramp up in the sequel. ( )
