Divine Rivals by Rebecca Ross – a Review

 

Amazon / B&N / Kobo / Google Play / Apple / BAM / Book Depository

Description:
After centuries of sleep, the gods are warring again. But eighteen-year-old Iris Winnow just wants to hold her family together. Her mother is suffering from addiction and her brother is missing from the front lines. Her best bet is to win the columnist promotion at the Oath Gazette.

To combat her worries, Iris writes letters to her brother and slips them beneath her wardrobe door, where they vanish―into the hands of Roman Kitt, her cold and handsome rival at the paper. When he anonymously writes Iris back, the two of them forge a connection that will follow Iris all the way to the front lines of battle: for her brother, the fate of mankind, and love.

 

Review:

Divine Rivals by Rebecca Ross is the first book in her new Historical fantasy romance, Iris at the Front series. I am a big fan of Rebecca Ross, as I have read and loved her previous books. We meet Iris Winnow, our heroine, at the start, when she watches her brother leave to fight in the gods’ war, with a promise to write to her. The setting of this story had the feel of WW1.  Iris, who is 18 years old, becomes a reporter for the Oath Gazette, with a possible promotion, knowing her competition is her rival, Roman Kitt.  Both of them started out as not liking each other, with both trying to best each other’s columns to have a chance at the promotion.  Iris started sending out letters to her brother, who never responded.

In this slight element of fantasy, her letters are mysteriously magically rerouted to Roman, as both had a special magic typewriter. Neither one knew who was sending or receiving these letters, with both using different names; in a short time, their feelings for each other will change. Through the letters, both Iris and Kit start falling in love, though she still thinks she is in love with Carver (his middle name).

After Iris’s mother dies, and the war of the gods escalates, she quits her job at Oath Gazette and becomes a war correspondent, leading her into the dangers of war, including the front lines. Worried about Iris, Kit decides he needs to join her, help protect her during this war of the gods. 

This was a very emotional and heart-wrenching story, but most importantly was the amazing romance between Iris and Kit; they were so great together. I loved Iris, as she was a strong and independent heroine, who was always ready to help others in need. Kit was also very good, especially when he realized he was falling in love with Iris, and gave up everything to join her as a war correspondent; his love for Iris was so beautiful.

Divine Rivals was a story filled with grief, tragedy, death, with humans fighting in the midst of this horrible war; a war started with two gods, Enva and Dacre, who were enemies.  Divine Rivals was well written by Rebecca Ross, that was heart wrenching, with so much heartbreak, horrors; but the wonderful sweeping love story between Iris and Roman was fantastic. I will say that the ending was a surprise and somewhat mixed.  I am happy that Ross will have more books in this series.

A Fire Endless by Rebecca Ross – a Review

A Fire Endless by Rebecca Ross – a Review

 

Amazon / B&N / Kobo / Google Play / Apple / BAM / Book Depository

 

Description:
East and West. Humans and Spirits. Breccans and Tamerlaines. The Isle of Cadence has always held itself and its residents in a tenuous balance. But now Bane, the spirit of the North Wind, has pushed everyone and everything in his path off-kilter in a bid to claim dominion over all.

In the West, Adaira struggles to adjust to the more brutal, bitter ways of life among the Breccans. Striving to find her place in the clan, she swiftly realizes that it just might be the last role she desires to hold. And while magic blooms effortlessly for the Breccans in the west, the spirits continue to suffer beneath Bane’s harsh power, felt in every gust of wind.

In the East, Jack is adrift without Adaira until he sings to the ember-weak fire spirits, acquiring a dangerous mission he never expected. One that is destined to lead him westward. Likewise, Torin and Sidra are consumed by a new mystery as sickness spreads first amongst the crops, and then to the people of the Tamerlaine clan. While Sidra desperately searches for a cure, Torin dares to strike a bargain with the spirits—a precarious folly anytime, but especially now as the days grow darker.

With the island falling further out of balance, humans and spirits alike will need to join together to face Bane, and Jack’s gift with the harp will be called upon once more. Yet no one can challenge the North Wind without paying a terrible price, and the sacrifice required this time may be more than Jack, Adaira, Torin, and Sidra can bear to pay.

In the stunning conclusion to the Elements of Cadence duology, A Fire Endless finds the delicate balance between the human and faerie realm threatened by Bane, the spirit of the North Wind, whose defeat can only come through fire, song, and heart-rending sacrifice.

 

 

Review:

A Fire Endless by Rebecca Ross is the final book in her wonderful Elements of Cadence duology.  I have become a fan of Rebecca Ross’s wonderful fantasy novels. A Fire Endless picks up where the first book left off. Adaira is now in the West, trying to adjust to a more difficult life, as well as learn more about her true family (Breccans), her mother, Innes being the laird of the West and her father David. She misses her husband, Jack, who was left in the East, since being a bard, he cannot play music in the West.

In the East, Jack misses Adaira, but is determined to use his harp, to sing to the spirits, who suffer from King Bane’s nasty powers, bringing severe sickness to crops and people. The blight continues to grow, and Sidra, the healer in Tamerlaine, becomes infected, trying desperately to find a cure. Torin, the Laird of the East, finds himself approached by a spirit, who needs him to solve a puzzle, which would help save the land.  He is then stuck in the spirit realm, trying to search for the clues, to free himself, and stop the blight; with him being unable to see anyone in the mortal world, including his wife, Sidra and daughter, Maisie. 

Adaira slowly begins to learn more about her parents, and the world within the Breccan clan; but she also tries to change the way things are being done, especially the culling.  In a short time, Jack, will decide to join Adaira in the West, since he wants to be with his wife, and willing to give up his music.  It was a dangerous journey for Jack, as some evil Breccans threatened his life, with Adaira coming to his rescue.  Very exciting.  I loved Jack and Adaira together, as they were a fantastic couple.

With both the East and West beginning to suffer the terrible consequences of Bane’s rule, they will need to find a way to bring both sides together, as well as the spirits, who also suffer from Bane’s horror. Each of them (Adaira, Jack, Sidra and Torin) have their own difficult arcs, as we spend time with each of them in their compelling journeys.  Jack’s gift of music will bring Bane to destroy the spirits, more blight and stop the Bard. Will Jack survive?

What follows was an amazing, fantastic adventure in a world filled with magic, spirits, enemies, betrayals and romance.  There are some surprising twists, that will eventually force the two clans to join together to save the Isle of Cadenc.  Adaira, continues to be a fantastic heroine, as she was strong independent, determined, savvy and fierce. I loved Jack, Sidra and Torin, who played major parts in this story. 

A Fire Endless was a wonderful, captivating, unique story filled with spirits, magic and folklore.   To say too much more would ruin it for you, as you really do need to read this fantastic finale.  Rebecca Ross once again gives us a wonderful fantasy, with great characters and keeping me enthralled from start to finish.  If you have not read this duology, I suggest you start with A River Enchanted, then read A Fire Endless.

A River Enchanted by Rebecca Ross – a Review

 

Amazon / B&N / Kobo / Google Play / Apple / BAM / Book Depository


Description:
Jack Tamerlaine hasn’t stepped foot on Cadence in ten long years, content to study music at the mainland university. But when young girls start disappearing from the isle, Jack is summoned home to help find them. Enchantments run deep on Cadence: gossip is carried by the wind, plaid shawls can be as strong as armor, and the smallest cut of a knife can instill fathomless fear. The capricious spirits that rule the isle by fire, water, earth, and wind find mirth in the lives of the humans who call the land home. Adaira, heiress of the east and Jack’s childhood enemy, knows the spirits only answer to a bard’s music, and she hopes Jack can draw them forth by song, enticing them to return the missing girls.

As Jack and Adaira reluctantly work together, they find they make better allies than rivals as their partnership turns into something more. But with each passing song, it becomes apparent the trouble with the spirits is far more sinister than they first expected, and an older, darker secret about Cadence lurks beneath the surface, threatening to undo them all.

 

 

Review:

A River Enchanted by Rebecca Ross is the 1st book in her new Elements of Cadence series.  I have become a fan of Rebecca Ross’s wonderful fantasy novels. A River Enchanted has a Scottish feel filled with magic, in the isle of Cadence, with two warring clans (East & West).  The focus of the novel, is centered on two childhood enemies that team up to find out why young girls are being mysterious taken.

Jack Tamerlaine (he is a Bard) returns to Cadence after a 10-year absence, studying music and getting a job at the mainland university, as he has been summoned home. Jack learns quickly that the person who really summoned him home, was his childhood enemy, Adaira, as she is now the heiress of East. Adaira explains why she needs Jack’s help, as the missing girls have not been found; she needs him to use his Bard music to bring out the spirits (fire, water, earth & wind). At the same time, Adaira makes an offer to the West to bring about peace, but can they be trusted?

Jack hasn’t seen his mom (Mirin) in all those years, and is surprised to discover he has a sister, Frae.  Torin is the captain of the guard, and is also one of the POV’s; his wife Sidra, is a healer, who also takes care of Maisie (Torin’s daughter from his deceased wife). Jack and Adaira agree to work together, and in a short time, their feelings begin to change, as they continually become closer.

What follows was an amazing, fantastic adventure in a world filled with magic, spirits, enemies, betrayals and a slow burn romance.  There are some surprising twists that will eventually change the game, with the East and West still very much divided. I loved Adaira, who was a fantastic heroine, as she was strong independent, determined, savvy and fierce. Jack was a very good hero, as I liked him too, but not as much as Adaira.  Ross has created a wonderful group of secondary characters, such as Torin, Sidra, Frae, Mirin, just to name a few.

A River Enchanted was a captivating, unique story filled with spirits, magic and folklore.   To say too much more would ruin it for you, as you really do need to read this fantastic book.  Rebecca Ross once again gives us a wonderful fantasy, with great characters and keeping me enthralled from start to finish. I wholly suggest you read A River Enchanted and anything written by Rebecca Ross, as I cannot wait for her next book, especially with the surprise ending.

Dreams Lie Beneath by Rebecca Ross – a Review

 

Amazon / B&N / Kobo / Google Play / Apple / BAM / Book Depository

 

Description:
A curse plagues the realm of Azenor—during each new moon, magic flows from the nearby mountain and brings nightmares to life. Only magicians, who serve as territory wardens, stand between people and their worst dreams.

Clementine Madigan is ready to take over as the warden of her small town, but when two magicians challenge her, she is unwittingly drawn into a century-old conflict. She seeks revenge, but as she secretly gets closer to Phelan, one of the handsome young magicians, secrets begin to rise. Clementine must unite with her rival to fight the realm’s curse, which seems to be haunting her every turn.

 

 

Review:

Dreams Lie Beneath by Rebecca Ross is a magnificent Fantasy standalone novel. I have read Ross’s previous series, and really enjoyed it.  Dreams Lie Beneath was a fantastic read that had me unable to put the book down.  Rebecca Ross has now risen up as an author I must read, as I was totally enthralled.

In the realm of Azenor, there is a curse that has been around for a century, which brings nightmares to life. During each new moon, magic flows from the mountain where the curse began, and wardens (magicians) are assigned to territories to help the people and stop the nightmares.  We meet Clementine (Clem) Madigan, who works with her father as magicians in their small town of Hereswith.  Clem has been training for years, to take over for her father, with she very close to rising up as the warden, but for now, together they team up to fight off those dreams to protect the town residents.

Things will change when two young men challenge the father to take over as warden in Hereswith. Clem does everything in her power to help her father fight off the challengers, and to her dismay they lose.  Clem is devastated, as she her father, Imonie (close member of household that takes care of them) are forced to leave their house and town.  It was amazing to see how Clem gets help from a troll to glamour up a different look, which no one can see behind the disguise.  In her quest for vengeance, she finds a way to become a partner to one of the men who took away their home; Clem is determined find out why they wanted their town. Of the two brothers who defeated them, Clem accepts a job to partner with Phelan, as he did not stay in Hereswith, with his brother taking that town over. 

What follows was an amazing, fantastic adventure in a world filled with magic, curses, dreams, dangerous nightmares, betrayals and a slow burn romance.  Ross blew me away with her wonderful writing, great characters and grabbing on to me from the start to finish.  Clem, our heroine, was simply an amazing heroine, who you couldn’t help but love her; she was strong, independent, determined, savvy and fierce. I also loved how under her disguise, she still managed to win over friends, as well as falling for Phelan. 

Dreams Lie Beneath was a wild, unique, tense, non-stop action filled story that was very enjoyable. To say too much more would ruin it for you, as you really do need to read this fantastic book.  Rebecca Ross created a wonderful must-read Fantasy that is not to be missed, especially if you enjoy fantasy.  I suggest wholly suggest you read Dreams Lie Beneath, and anything written by Rebecca Ross, as I cannot wait for her next book.

Sisters of Sword and Song by Rebecca Ross – a Review

Sisters of Sword and Song by Rebecca Ross – a Review

 

Amazon / B&N / Kobo / BAM / Book Depository / Google Play / Apple

 

Description:
After eight long years, Evadne will finally be reunited with her older sister, Halcyon, who has been proudly serving in the queen’s army. But when Halcyon appears earlier than expected, Eva knows something has gone terribly wrong. Halcyon is on the run, hunted by her commander and charged with murder.

Though Halcyon’s life is spared during her trial, the punishment is heavy. And when Eva volunteers to serve part of Halcyon’s sentence, she’s determined to find out exactly what happened. But as Eva begins her sentence, she quickly learns that there are fates much worse than death.

 

 

Review:

Sisters of Sword and Song by Rebecca Ross is a fantastic YA fantasy.  Having read a previous duology by Ross, I looked forward to reading this book.  I loved it, and best of all, it is standalone novel, which means you don’t have to wait to see what happens in the next book. ?

Sisters of Sword and Song focuses on two sisters, Halcyon and Evadne, who were very close.  Halcyon is the older sister, who left home 8 years ago to join the Queen’s army, where she rose to become a powerful and loyal warrior in the Bronze Legion.  Evadne was excited, as she awaited Halcyon’s return home to visit after all these years, but to her surprise, she is awakened in the middle of the night by a desperate Halcyon.  Evadne will learn that Halcyon is now wanted for murder, though it was an accident; but she wanted to see her sister, and run before she is found, or they will kill her despite not being intentional.  Swearing Evadne to not revealing that she came to see her, Halcyon runs away; only to be found a short time later, and captured to and tried for murder. Evadne, and her family travel to support Halcyon, as they knew she would never murder anyone and she was also so loyal to the Queen and her commander. 

Evadne worshipped her sister, and when then the sentencing is harsh (15 years in three concurrent 5 year terms), it will be Evadne who will offer to share the penalty to help save her sister’s life.  The Lord Commander Straton, whose son, Xander was the one who was killed, will step in and accept those terms, with Evadne being the one who will spend 5 years working for the Straton family. 

What follows is a tense, exciting, action filled and intriguing story that is filled with many surprising twists. We follow as Halcyon is sent to prison, where she is quickly under duress, as those in charge are determined to get information from her about the mission she and Xander were on when the accident occurred. One of the villians, a mage, arranged to have her poisoned, in order to weaken her and break through her mind to find the information needed.  Will she survive?  During that same period, Evadne is put to work as a servant, until Damon ( Xander’s brother and Straton’s other son), who is a Mage, takes a liking to her, and eventually pulls her to work for him as a scribe. Together they will slowly find their attraction growing, as well as becoming a perfect team; using the mage’s ability to sing (with Evadne joining the song) to use magic that will help them defeat the enemy.  Both Damon and Evadne will be the ones who will step up to take over the dangerous mission to gain a relic that will help save the Queen, against a evil and strong mage, who happens to be Straton’s sister.  Too tell too much more would be spoilers, but this was an exciting, mind blowing adventure that held me on the edge of my seat, wondering who will die and who will survive. 

I loved both Halcyon and Evadne, as they not only made great heroines, but it was so great to see their sisterhood bond.  I also loved Damon and Evadne slow burn romance, as they made a great couple.  She willingly helping Damon, despite the dangers; and he turned into such a great hero, so sweet and charming.  I got a kick out of Evadne discovering her new wings, and her ability to fly both her and Damon to safety. 

Sisters of Sword and Song was a fantastic story, so very well written by Ross.  This was a fantasy that had a bit of everything, such as mythology, magic, mages, scribes, warriors, gods, magical relics and horrible villains.  This was a journey to save the Queen, against evil forces; especially against a terrifying evil and ultra-powerful villain.  If you enjoy fantasy, especially a rare standalone, then look no further than Sisters of Sword and Song. I have come to adore the writing of Rebecca Ross.

The Queen’s Resistance by Rebecca Ross – a Review

 

Amazon / B&N / Kobo / iTunes / Google Play / BAM / Book Depository

 

Description:
Finally, Brienna is a mistress of knowledge and is settling into her role as the daughter of Davin MacQuinn, a disgraced lord who returned to Maevana to reclaim his house. Though she’d just survived a revolution, one that will finally return a queen to the throne, she faces another difficult challenge. She must prove herself trustworthy to the MacQuinns. But as Queen Isolde Kavanagh’s closest confidant, she’ll have to balance serving her father’s house as well as her country. And then there’s Cartier, a wholly separate but desirable factor in her new life.

Aodhan Morgane, formerly known as Cartier Évariste, is adjusting to the stark contrast between his pre-rebellion life in Valenia as a master of knowledge and his current one as the lord of a fallen house. During his castle’s restoration, he discovers a ten-year-old boy named Tomas, whose past and parentage are a complete mystery. So when Cartier’s former pupil Brienna is as taken with Tomas as he is, he lets his mind wander—what if he doesn’t have to raise him or his house alone?

As the Lannon trial rapidly approaches, Brienna and Cartier must put their feelings aside to concentrate on forging alliances, executing justice, and ensuring that no one interferes with the queen’s coronation. But resistance is rumbling among the old regime’s supporters, who are desperate to find a weakness in the rebels’ forces. And nothing makes a person more vulnerable than deep-seated love.

 

 

Review:

The Queen’s Resistance by Rebecca Ross  is the 2nd book in her fabulous The Queen’s Rising Duology .  I couldn’t wait to read this book, as I loved the first book The Queen’s Rising.  Once again, I am in awe of Rebecca Ross’ fantastic storytelling in a wonderful YA fantasy world, especially for an author whose debut novel was in that first book.  I loved The Queen’s Resistance.

The Queen’s Resistance picks up a short time after the end of the Queen’s Rising, where the revolution has successfully ended to be followed by a massive rebuilding.  Our heroes that helped win the war, Brienna (our wonderful heroine), Cartier (our hero), Isolde (the new Queen), Davin MacQuinn & Luc MacQuinn ( Brienna’s adopted family) meet to determine the other houses if they are true allies or enemies from the then evil King.  With Isolde’s coronation upcoming, grievances are being asked from the surviving families to determine who besides the evil king will be executed for their terrible deeds.  While decisions are being made, each of the families will return to their rightful Home after hiding for 25 years. Brienna goes with her father and brother to their house, with many of those who served MacQuinn also returning.  Wheras, everyone is happy to have the MacQuinns back, there are some who resent Brienna.  That will change over the course of time, but it makes Brienna uncomfortable listening to the whispers; but some of the maids will openly accept her and help her. Cartier, who is now known by his true name as Aodhan Morgane, returns to a house that has fallen apart, but those who are loyal to the Morganes, will also return to help bring the house back to its glory.  A young boy, Tomas, is found hiding in the house, and Cartier will take him in; he will play a major part in this story.

As the families of all the houses return to their rightful homes, there are still other houses that were loyal to the Lannons, and cannot be trusted.  Though the revolution is over there are still enemies at these houses that are determined to stop Isolde from being Queen of Maevana.

This was such a wonderful heartwarming story, as each of them try to rebuild their lives and homes from the horrific deaths and tragedy years before.  I loved Brienna, as she continues to be a terrific heroine, as well as a wonderful friend and consultant to Isolde, not to mention her romance with Cartier.  But the danger is not over, as betrayals will put lives on the line.  Allies and loyalties must be confirmed, and enemies dealt with before the coronation to ensure safety for all. 

What follows is an exciting, intriguing, action packed, and heartwarming adventure that will have Brienna in the middle of betrayals, deception and twists that will have us holding our breaths.  As we raced to the climatic finish, the final half of the book was intense and heartbreaking, as we could not put the book down.  I will say I loved the ending that was written so well by Ross, as it was very heartwarming, with love and happiness.  Brienna was such a great heroine, and her romance with Cartier was wonderful. I loved Isolde, the new Queen, and her connection to Brienna. Ross also created some wonderful secondary characters.

The Queen’s Ressistance was a fantastic, fascinating, page burner adventure in a magnificent world that I would love to continue.  I cannot tell too much more, as it would be major spoilers.  You need to find out everything for yourself.  I loved every moment of this book, with its amazing characters, history, family, war, and love.  Bravo to Rebecca Ross for this wonderful journey.

The Queen’s Rising by Rebecca Ross – a Review

 

The Queen's RisingAmazon / B&N / Kobo / BAM / Book Depository

Description:
When her seventeenth summer solstice arrives, Brienna desires only two things: to master her passion and to be chosen by a patron.

Growing up in the southern Kingdom of Valenia at the renowned Magnalia House should have prepared her for such a life. While some are born with an innate talent for one of the five passions—art, music, dramatics, wit, and knowledge—Brienna struggled to find hers until she belatedly chose to study knowledge. However, despite all her preparations, Brienna’s greatest fear comes true—the solstice does not go according to plan and she is left without a patron.

Months later, her life takes an unexpected turn when a disgraced lord offers her patronage. Suspicious of his intent, and with no other choices, she accepts. But there is much more to his story, and Brienna soon discovers that he has sought her out for his own vengeful gain. For there is a dangerous plot being planned to overthrow the king of Maevana—the archrival kingdom of Valenia—and restore the rightful queen, and her magic, to the northern throne. And others are involved—some closer to Brienna than she realizes.

With war brewing between the two lands, Brienna must choose whose side she will remain loyal to—passion or blood. Because a queen is destined to rise and lead the battle to reclaim the crown. The ultimate decision Brienna must determine is: Who will be that queen?

 

 

Review:

The Queen’s Rising by Rebecca Ross is the 1st book in a trilogy. I wasn’t sure what to expect when I started this book, but I am happy to say I loved The Queen’s Rising, and the fantastic writing of a new author for me, Rebecca Ross.  This is YA Fantasy at its best, and a fascinating world created by Ross, which I could not put down.

Brienna, who at 10 years old, was sent by her grandfather to Magnolia House, which was sort of an elite boarding school, but with students who would live together for 7 years to develop their passion  ( art, music, dramatics, wit, and knowledge).  But Brienna did not excel at any passion, though in her last three years, she mastered her passion in Knowledge.  Brienna has lived in the kingdom of Valenia all of her life, but she has visions about being a Maevana girl.  She has no idea who her father is, and her grandfather refuses to talk about it.  So while she studies knowledge, Brienna, with her master teacher . studies and obsesses over everything about Maevana.

I really enjoyed seeing Brienna with her friends at Magnolia House, as they all were expected to receive an offer from a Patron at graduation. Only Brienna did not.  But a Patron will come forward, once it is learned that she has visions of the past from Maevana.  The crux of this worldbuilding:  the violent king of Maevana is destructive, killing anyone at will, including woman and children. Maevana was always ruled by a Queen, who had magic to fight off evil. 25 years ago, the Queen was murdered, and the Stone of Eventine (which controls the magic), was stolen, and many were slaughtered. Three Lord’s of the Houses in Maevana escaped.  Brienna’s visions are memories of one of the bad guys during that revolution, with clues that could help bring the kingdom back to its glory days.

What follows is an exciting, interesting, and mindboggling journey that will have Brienna finally find out the truth about her heritage, and  bring her back to her homeland.  A war is once again on horizon that will reveal secrets, betrayals, intrigue and a plot that could kill them all. As we raced to the climatic finish, the final half of the book was intense, with us holding our breaths until the very end.   I loved Brienna, as she turned into a strong and loyal heroine.  The wonderful secondary characters that are her friends, family and teacher are created so well by Ross.  Even the villains of this book were created to be truly evil.  

The Queen’s Rising was a fantastic, fascinating, page burner adventure into a magnificent world that sort of felt like old time Ireland.  I cannot tell too much more, as it would be major spoilers.  You need to find out everything for yourself.  I loved every moment of this book, with its amazing characters, history, family, war, and love.  Bravo to Rebecca Ross for this wonderful journey.
