Bringer and the Bane
review 1: Rating: 3 to 3.5 stars I was given a copy for an honest review (though later I had to buy a copy to get it to play on my ereader. XD) But still an honest review.This is your standard fair PR. It wasn't ground breaking but most PR's aren't. That wasn't my issue with this book.I liked the main couple. The fact that this is set somewhat in the past is a bit novel. The Bane vs Bringer thing wasn't really explained all that well -- I wish the author had done more to distinct the two. This would've done so much more for the book when it started in this character a Bane or a Bringer. I hate having to stop and look back to remember which are which.The reason I give this book 3 to 3.5 stars is that EBIL doers. This is a HUGE drawback to this book. This book is meant to be a PR roma... morence. Okay. So, why is the first scene in the first chapter of this book not about one or the other of the MCs? Why is there ANY scenes in the POV of the EBIL doers? I'd wonder about a romance if there was just one but the author felt it necessary to keep jumping back to the EBIL doers. I'm not reading the book for them. They're just the bicycle ride to the HEA ending I want.Of course, if that were all... No, these EBIL doers (notice the EBIL is there for a reason) are ridiculous. They are like the frankenwenie of all the cliche and terrible EBIL doers in the last 100 years. Literally (in this case, haha!)The king of Hell or whatever has a thrown made up the dead bones of his fallen enemies and he has three nekked women all writhing at his feet. I guess that's all for the betterment of the King. We're told he has done nothing in 300 or so years since killing a whole lot of his enemies. These EBIL doers are just basking in his awe like 12 year old Bieber fans. I mean, here when Obama made the order to kill Osama, he was being challenged that same day. I'd somehow expect the minions of Hell to be a little more, er, devious, than the Republican Party. *shrug*
review 2: Rating 5/5Excellent ReadAll her life, Ravyn was made to believe that she has evil within her. Not until she escapes the place she has known all her life that she finds out that she belongs to a group of race that captures the enemies that are chasing after her. In her journey to discover her new found destiny, she encounters new friends that will help her hone her powers, abilities, and capture her heart. Loved the book. The storyline captivated me from the start until end. The writing style was great and the world created by the author was enchanting. I loved the headstrong and kick-ass heroine. This book has a perfect dose of action, adventure, and romance. Can't wait to read the next installment. less
