Broken Hearts by Ioana Visan

4.0

*I received a free digital version from the author in exchange for an honest review.

Broken Hearts follows Dale and Aurore's travels to many different places in order to keep her source safe. During this mission of sorts, they recover important information, blackmail enemies, break people out of a detention center (this is more so the circus than them, but it's still a large part of the book), cut off limbs, change eyes, and gain more feelings for each other.

What I love about Broken Heart is the flow of the writing (it had a good pace, great situations, some nice twists effortlessly thrown in quite well, and great details), the development (characters grew, such as Dale, Aurore, Cole, and Cielo who learned to love), and the new arising troubles and how they deal wth them. We got much more insight in this book about how the circus works and what they think about when making new decisions that arise. We also learn more about the characters; not so much their backgrounds, but how they act, how they think, what they do and why. This really made the characters seem real and connectable, which made it all the more enjoyable.

Now, the romance in this book is a lot more developed than it was in the first. I love it. I loved reading about Dale and Aurore (I'm focusing on them because I love them, but they're not the only couple of sorts), because I got to see them grow closer and take down their masks even if only because of unintentional cracks. They work well together and they definitely changed each other for the better, and I can't wait to see if they take a step further when he gets back and make it official. Assuming there is another book, of course.

There's not much else to say. The writing was great, the plot was great, the characters and their developments were great. What's not to love?

So overall, I really enjoyed reading Broken Hearts, and I recommend this to all you lovers of magic, action, and maybe even romance.
