I was promised serious Xena vibes with this one, and it didn't disappoint. But make no mistake, this book is a story all on its own and goes in many different directions that are far from the Warrior Princess.
There's Aleya and Kirby, and their paths cross in a world full of gods and history and magic, and they go on a hero's journey together...for a time. There's even a third person with a sad past and the need for redemption, and another voice that will not be revealed until the end. It's character driven and it's sweet, but also tragic at times. I loved this book, even though it took a while for me to kick in. And I especially loved the least 15% or so. I had not expected this. 4/5 stars Thank you @netgalley and @dawbooks and @hodderbooks for the eARC! #Idolfire #Netgalley #Bookstagram
