Dawnbreaker is a harrowing tale of a wordly queen, her king, and an otherworldly warrior whose soul is bonded to the king. The book kept me on the edge of my seat and had a particularly engaging and unpredictable plot. The thing that stood out to me about this book, however, was the writing. It has been a while since I have seen such beautifully descriptive writing. The author paints vivid images throughout the story. A map wouldn’t even be necessary due to how clear of a picture I had of the land. The way in which you pick up pieces of world and character building as you read is a breath of fresh air when most other books spoon feed these things to the reader. I felt fully involved in the book and compelled to continue reading simply to learn more about this world and these characters. The only reason why this book did not receive a full five stars from me is because there were some particular terms used where their meaning was unclear- whether that be a term used by the characters or a name of a thing or event. I found myself sitting for longer than I would like trying to figure out exactly what they were talking about. When surrounded by such great writing this isn’t that big of a deal, but I felt it at least worth mentioning. I would absolutely read more from this author.
