I love a good fantasy. I have been looking for something that can lift my spirits and keep me motivated and invested in the story.
The fractured Empire was sent to me in exchange for an honest review. I can not be more honest. It was a great read, so much so that I had to get the next instalment, The Tempest sea.
The characters are well rounded with interesting and explanatory backstories that you come to know through chapters that take you back to memories of the specific characters.
Clark and Addie are thrown together due to circumstances neither of them saw coming. Their tenuous relationship highlights the importance of getting to know someone and that keeping secrets never helps a relationship. Nonetheless, they form a bond that becomes a constant thread through the story.
Nell, Locke and Clark's brothers form a tight-knit ring around Addie and Clark in the centre. Though their actions sometimes keep one guessing at their intentions.
Add to this conspiracies and suspicions surrounding Addie's and Clark's fathers and a Land from legend and magical books. This makes a story that takes you from one world to another where you hold your breath and get palpitations at the things the characters gets up to.
It takes a good book to get me to buy and read the next in the series. This is a good read and a clean one at that. Always a bonus when reading young adult literature.
