Dolor and Shadow by Angela B. Chrysler
4.0
Read this book for a Read It & Reap in exchange for an honest review.
Dolor and Shadow is the first book in the Tales of the Drui series. It is such a great opener that I can't wait to dive into the second book.
A lot happens in this book and you get to meet so many amazing characters that your head might be spinning. Kallan is the new elf queen and the MC of this book. She's a badass with super awesome magical powers. Then there's Rune who is the cunning king that has a ton of dark secrets and tricks up his sleeve. They are't perfect in any way, shape, or form.. but they aren't evil either.. so that's a good start right? Yes, yes it is.
These two need to work around their different point of views on this world, land, and people. They need to start working together and figure out how to save their people and kingdoms. There's a war going on and that's how they end up meeting each other. Of course they have a crush on each other.. which I was totally for. Their feelings blossom into something beautiful has they learn the truth about their past and present.
Overall, I loved this book. Their teamwork and growing relationship gave me life. I wanted more from them and this book. I never wanted it to end and now that it has.. well, I need the second book STAT. I loved the mythology that was in this book. I loved the mystery and drama of it all. The action was amazing. The two main characters were easy to fall in love with. I want more! I need more.
