Fall of Ruin and Wrath by Jennifer L. Armentrout
5.0
Dystopian, romance, first person POV, this story is just amazing. I love diving into a world created by JLA and this is no exception!
We start with a flashback with young orphan Lis and her buddy Grady meeting two Lords looking for a certain type of person. There is a connection felt, then we move on. Lis is now 22 and living at a manor under Baron Claude. His stupid cousin Hymel is around all the time too. She saved Claude from being pick pocketed/stabbed by using her "intuition." I will admit reading that word over and over grated on me a bit, but I digress.
This is a very character and romance driven story, lots and lots of HEAVY world building. There is so much to learn in this dystopian world, and it isn't extremely clear what state the world is in, or even time period. I'm personally a fan of this! We are learning about the world as the main character is.
I don't want to give too much away in this review, but if you like FBAA, you will love FORAW. I am just waiting for the sequel to be announced....
