War Hour (The Broken Trials Book 1)

ARC REVIEW This was such a good debut novel. I was lucky to receive the arc of this book and really enjoyed my time reading it. This book is very plot heavy but has some romance on the side, and even though I normally like a romantasy to be romance heavy I really enjoyed the plot in this and there was a perfect balance between the two. The magic system was unique and very interesting, even though I would've liked the trials to be a little more extensive. I felt like it was very short and simple while there was such an emphasis on how big of a deal the trials are. I think this book sets up a lot for the following books and I'm very curious to see where this series is gonna go (especially after that cliffhanger like WTF).

This book is incredible. I couldn't put it down since the moment I read the first page. The pace is perfect. It isn't too slow but also doesn't feel rushed. You get to know the characters well and they grow on you really fast. I also really liked the main character most of the times (which is very rare for me). There are SO many plot twist that I didn't see coming, but they always make sense and never feel out of the blue and unreasonable. The writing style is neither too easy nor too difficult and there's always the perfect amount of describing so I could imagine everything but didn't feel bored. Overall there wasn't a single moment I was bored while reading it. It had me gasping, screaming, almost throwing my e-reader at the wall, laughing, giggling and kicking my feet. I was so immersed in the story, that I forgot everything around me and was dying to know what happens next. And also, the cliff hanger?! I really want to know what happens next :') I know I'll be thinking about this book for the next months, probably years and I really wish it didn't end already. I really really hope there will be a second book (I don't think I' ll survive otherwise)
