Review
(Disclaimer: I received this book from the publisher. This has not impacted my review which is unbiased and honest.)
Faebound is a riveting action packed fantasy with swoons, ethics, and loyalty. It’s a story about war and vengeance, love and forgiveness. From the beginning, I love a story about siblings and the sister relationship with Yeeran and Lettle are some of my favorites. For them, they not only have to go through growing pains of their relationship, but also to reconcile what happened with the past. If you love stories about changing landscapes, questions of loyalty, and secrets, this is for you!
From the ashes of devastation, both Yeeran and Lettle will have to figure out how to navigate these new worlds. The new relationships, power struggles, and questions of what we will sacrifice. The prophecies in Faebound ask us how much we can impact in our lives. What we can escape, control, and do in the faces of these forces of revenge and conquering. At the same time, Faebound asks us about what we will choose. Will it be love or revenge?

All the things we will do for power and who we will pin the prices on. If we choose war, vengeance, and anger over love what will happen? This is another winner from El-Arifi and I cannot wait for the sequel! Find Faebound on Goodreads, Storygraph, Amazon, Bookshop.org, & Blackwells.
