“Rain of Shadows and Endings” Review – Thrilling Fantasy

Of all the worlds and life they created, the gods favored their children the most. But with that favor came the fear that their Legacy would one day become too powerful and overthrow them. Devram was created. A realm hidden amongst the stars. The gods gave their Legacy the best of all the worlds, and then they left, a sworn agreement to never return and to never interfere. Forced to a life of servitude, the Fae are required to provide for the Legacy in more ways than one. Every five years, the eligible Fae are gathered for the Selection and assigned to serve in one of the six Kingdoms. To be chosen as the personal Source for a Kingdom Heir is the greatest honor, and for the first time in a millennia, all six Kingdoms have heirs choosing a Source. But their selections could tip the power balance a little too far. Tessalyn Asura was as forgotten as the realm. But when she finds herself the personal Source to the Heir of Endings, she winds up serving in the darkest Kingdom of them all . The secrets within the Arius Kingdom are meant to be learned and kept, but this was never the life she wanted. Fighting not only the fate thrust upon her, but the temptation to lose herself to desire, Tessa will do anything to escape her new destiny. Until she starts to realize maybe their world wasn’t as forgotten as they thought, and maybe she’s the reason why.

Get Rain of Shadows and Endings

 I have always been drawn to the world of fantasy books. There is something about the magical and otherworldly elements that captivate me and transport me to a different realm. However, I have also tried to expand my reading horizons and venture into other genres, but every time I try to read a non-fantasy book, the fantasy book always manages to win me over. But recently, I came across a book that not only surpassed my expectations but also took the top spot as my all-time favorite fantasy book. This one truly takes the cake.

From the very first page, I was completely engrossed in the story and the world that the author had created. The characters were well-developed and had distinct personalities that made them feel like real people. Each one had their own story, their own secrets, and their own struggles, which made them relatable and easy to connect with. The dynamic between the characters was also exceptional, with their relationships evolving and changing throughout the book.

But what truly sets this book apart is the mystery and intrigue that surrounds the world and the forces at play. As a reader, I love when authors incorporate otherworldly elements into their stories and this book did it brilliantly. The way the author weaved in these elements and how they affected the characters and the plot was masterful. It kept me on the edge of my seat and left me wanting more.

I must admit, I had a hard time writing this review because I wanted to do justice to how amazing this book truly is. I didn’t want to give away any spoilers, but at the same time, I wanted to convey just how much I loved this book. The world-building, the character development, the plot twists, and the writing style were all superb. It’s rare for me to find a book that checks all the boxes, but this one exceeded all my expectations.

As someone who aspires to be a writer, this book has left me at a loss for words. It has set the bar high for what a fantasy book should be. I can only hope to one day write a book as captivating and well-crafted as this one. And while I eagerly await the release of the second book, I can confidently say that this book has earned a permanent spot on my bookshelf and in my heart.
