Blade Breaker

Keeps you on the edge of your seat from start to finish

17yo Corayne and her mismatched crew are reeling from the battle to close the Spindle as they observe dead Galland soldiers and sea serpents surrounding them. As they move on, forty Ibal soldiers approach and tell the crew they have orders from their king to take Corayne to him, and the crew travels along because they’re staying together. The group has no idea what to expect when they meet the Ibal king. Erida continues to take kingdoms by force with the help of Prince Taristan and wizard Ronin, both of whom are occupied by the demon What Waits, and when she kills a fifteen year old princess, she gains another kingdom. A new Spindle is found and when Corayne reaches it to close it, she discovers a trap. Will evil or good conquer the realm?Likes/dislikes: I love the world building and the character development.

Reaaly enjoyed the first two books and also have now read and enjoyed the third

Boek valt bijna uiteen. Verhaal is wel leuk.

Frankly speaking, I had some difficulties reentering the story at first. After a magnificient first part and some months in between the second one seemed to be rather dull and couldn't live up to my previous anticipation. But that changed!Granted, the perspective of Sorasa or Dom is much more to my liking than the one of Corayne or Andry (even more so because the latter ones thoughts and actions often verge on a naiveté which is hard to bear sometimes), but that's just the way of stories told from different point of views.If you liked the first book, you'll love this one! I devoured it!The only sad thing is the wicked cliffhanger at the end...
