goodreads...
Eden Matthew's world is in shambles. Her grandfather viciously
murdered, her twin brother held without magic, and her best friends imprisoned,
all at the hands of the one man that was supposed to love her for eternity. She
has been betrayed, and now she is being hunted by a king that wants her dead.
Eden must pick up the pieces of her life and stand alone against the tyranny
that threatens to destroy her world. Alone she must find a way to rebuild the
Resistance, locate her missing parents, save her loved ones and take down the
monarchy. Everything is against her, including forbidden feelings of a love
that she thought was buried. She has declared war and now stands on the
precipice of defeat. Losing is not an option however, and Eden must find a way
to overcome her emotions, fight through her pain and restore the magic to her
kingdom. Fearless Magic is the third installment of The Star-Crossed Series.
My take...
What’s that saying about a woman scorned? Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned...yeah, that’s Eden for
you. Lucan has taken away her family through death and abduction. Eden is out
for revenge and it will all start with killing Kiran then moving on until Lucan
no longer walks the earth. They both will pay for betraying her and bringing
harm to her family. So Eden starts off on a journey to find others to join her
Resistance and help bring an end to the worthless Kendrick bloodline. And along
the way Eden starts to learn a little more about herself and her eyes are
opened to others and sees them for who they really are. Some are honest and
trustworthy and some are downright selfish and heartless.
I was so excited when Rachel sent me the first 3 books in the
Star-Crossed series back in May....that is until I read the first one. Now
don't get me wrong, I love these books. They are the absolute best. But there
is just one little, teensy problem that has had me leaving a month or 2 in
between book reviews of the series: Kiran! I don't think I have been affected
by a character so much like I have been with Kiran. Oh. My. Goodness I have
never wanted to strangle a guy so much in my life…he is absolutely infuriating.
One minute Ms Rachel has us all swooning over Kiran and had me waving the Team
Kiran flag...only to have the rug ripped out from under us the very next
second. And then we are left fuming wanting to cut his nads off. Oh yes, there
will be blood!
But seriously, this book was so great. Heck, the series is so
great! I love this world that Rachel has created and the whole idea is freakin magical…literally.
Want to know what was a great addition to this story? Jericho! Yeah I know he
was in the last one. But he really came through in this one. Yum, Yum give me
some! I love how much he loves Eden…it’s a very unselfish kind of love. But
does Eden feel the same about him now? Neener, neener! I am not saying. Read it
to see for yourself.
In Fearless Magic we get to see Eden grow and become a very
welcoming character. She sheds her teenage self and matures into a strong young
woman. Of course she had to grow up quick after all the loss she was hit with
at the end of Hopeless Magic. But I love this new Eden though; she seemed more
in control even when circumstances were out of control.
Those who love a story of love, self-sacrifice, and magic…well
this series is made for you. If you haven’t read the first 2 get them today and
start them. You will love Rachel’s world and her amazing (and sometimes irritating)
characters. *cough* Kiran *cough* And once you read them let me know what you
think of them. I would love to hear your thoughts.
