The Compeer by Jamie Applegate Hunter
4.0
I've had this book on my TBR for a while and Im glad I finally read it! It has a great cast of characters!
This is the first in a Fantasy Romance Trilogy. I really enjoyed this one! The prologue and very first chapter sucked me in. It's Earth but after civilization is reset by some supreme beings and magic is introduced. The story is very fast paced. I didn't feel like any part dragged and there's some mystery throughout to keep you guessing about who's who and who's doing what.
The FMC is an outcast in her village because of her unique coloring (imagine Ciri from S1 of The Witcher) but she's a badass. She's been secretly training with the battalion general and her brother, and she entirely capable of taking down a grown man by herself.
The MMC is powerful. He finds himself inexplicably drawn to the FMC and becomes fiercely possessive and protective of her. Don't worry, she puts him in his place.
He also demonstrates some “burn down the world” for her qualities. And I really appreciated that he finds the FMC irresistible when she’s kicking ass. He appreciates her skill and strength and doesn’t try to squash it.
I also loved the gender equality purposely highlighted and promoted by another male character who suddenly finds himself in a position of power.
