About the book

The first book in the instant New York Times bestselling series, the Empirium Trilogy!

Furyborn is an epic YA fantasy about two fiercely independent young women, centuries apart, who hold the power to save their world...or doom it.

When assassins ambush her best friend, Rielle Dardenne risks everything to save him, exposing herself as one of a pair of prophesied queens: a queen of light, and one of blood. To prove she is the Sun Queen, Rielle must endure seven elemental magic trials. If she fails, she will be executed as the Blood Queen...unless the trials kill the queen first.

One thousand years later, the legend of Queen Rielle is a fairy tale to Eliana Ferracora. A bounty hunter for the Undying Empire, Eliana believes herself untouchable-until her mother vanishes. To find her, Eliana joins a rebel captain and discovers that the evil at the empire's heart is more terrible than she ever imagined.

As Rielle and Eliana fight in a cosmic war that spans millennia, their stories intersect, and the shocking connections between them ultimately determine the fate of their world-and of each other.

    Abgebrochenes Buch

    Nach 50 Seiten kam ich bereits nicht in den Schreibstil und in die Story rein, aber habe dann bis Seite 105 circa weiter gelesen. Leider hat sich meine Ansicht nicht verändert. Die Sprache war sehr altmodisch und förmlicj, was ich schwer zu lesen fand. Zudem hat man paar Sätze gelesen und halbwegs die Handlung verstanden und dann passiert etwas, was absolut keinen Sinn macht. Die Handlungen hatten leider für mich keinerlei roten Faden, was ich sehr anstrengend fand. Mit den Charakteren konnte ich ebenfalls nicht warm werden.

    had some really good parts, but i just never fully connected with the characters and the plot — this angel-stuff didn't feel thought through at all.

    (and i just realised it took me over 2 months to finish, wow)

    rielle is the most annoying protagonist ever, i couldnt bring myself to care about her and her story in the slightest. i found myself rushing through her chapters to get to eliana's, even more so in the second book.
