I also wanna say that the secondary characters in this book were fantastic as well.

The story in itself was also really fascinating with how power like Rielle possessed it could go both ways, good or evil. But I really did enjoy reading about both of them. I love reading books feauturing female assassins so I must say that my preference went out to Eliana in the end. Eliana’s story was equally riveting, I thought. We know from the start that Rielle’s story doesn’t have a happily ever after but with each chapter that revolves around her we get more and more of her story, which was truly epic. I absolutely loved these two stories in one. Eliana is an assassin for the Undying Empire until her mother disappears without a trace and she joins the rebels to find her. Second, we have Eliana Ferracora who lives a thousand years later where the tale of Rielle is nothing but a story. First of all we have Rielle Dardenne who’s been keeping her power over all seven elements secret for years until she has to safe her best friend who’s also the crown prince of Celdaria. The book was basically two stories in one. So yes it was amazing, well written, action-packed and full of twists.

Obviously it was amazing because otherwise I wouldn’t have rated it with five stars. I don’t know if I’m going to be able to find the right words to express my love for Furyborn.
