I always find it a bit dicey to pick up a fantasy book by an author I do not know. I have been disappointed too often by books that include all of the tropes of a fantasy story, but very little heart in the character development and offer me nothing new. So I picked this book up with a bit of trepidation.

Luckily for me, I was completely wrong. Liberty Bound was a great read. I enjoyed the world created within this novel; a land with echoes of The Hunger Games and Game Of Thrones, but with a totally distinct group of characters and interrelationships. As I reached the end of the book, I found myself disappointed that I wouldn’t have more time with these characters. I truly hope the author is working on the sequel that is hinted at by the book’s ending.

Thanks to BooksGoSocial for providing me with an advanced reading copy via NetGalley.

i really enjoyed reading this book, it was a great debut novel. I enjoyed the plot very much and getting to know the characters. I look forward to more from the author.
