My Review
A Lady of Embers by Erin O’Kane
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This is the first book I’ve read by Erin O’Kane , and I do appreciate her style of writing. This book has many different characters throughout the story , but is centered on our heroine Annalise a fae , Elijah someone who is not from her realm , and the master . Although another character will play a big part later on.
Annalise is a likeable character , a fighter of will all her life , but I did find alil much repetition about her past . Elijah , well there are so many questions than answers still swaying in my mind. But he was also a likeable character even if he shouldn’t have been . I found myself drawn to him , and his power. The master , well the author did a fantastic job making him just how he was supposed to be . In every sense of the word.
Kidnapped, and taken to another realm far away from anything remotely the same to what your used to , and then given a choice submit or be locked away . What do you choose, and in unfamiliar land ? Promises of anything if only Annalise does that very thing , but everything comes with a price . Especially when she may have found her long dormant powers , and the other part of her soul.
I loved how descriptive the author was in the telling of this fantasy , the way she made you feel as if you were watching it from above , but I was waiting for the moments of romance that clearly needed to happen, and didn’t. Understandable so with everyone watching, but for a reverse harem I did expect some steam , and this one fizzled out . It was more of a pg13 book than just for adults.
Still it was captivating enough that I was immersed in the story, as I watched the plot grow , and end on a very large cliff hanger which I will buy the next book , because I have to know what happens.
I did voluntarily receive this book to read ,and this is my unbiased review – ALEBB BLOG
