She Rises by Caitlin Denman
3.0
I liked this one better than the first! It’s longer and gives all of the characters a lot more depth. The story is quite fast-paced, making for a pretty easy read. I loved seeing Attina finally coming into her powers and self. The romance with Allister is mostly well done, although it certainly falls into a very predictable plot.
James chapters are very uncomfortable, and I’m not sure altogether necessary. I would rather see him through Attina’s eyes, as it helps to understand why she struggles to see how bad he is. I also struggled with some of the writing – there is a lot of modern slang in a more medival fantasy setting, which I personally find a bit jarring, though that may just be my own preference. Still, overall it is an enjoyable read.
