The Heir by Claudia Klein
4.0
Before starting my review, I would like to thank the author, Claudia Klein, for generously offering me a digital copy of her book "The Heir". I would also like to reassure everyone who might be reading my review, that it's exclusively based on my honest opinion! Shall we begin?
The Heir is a book full of action and suspense. Set in a medieval background, it constitutes a story of self-discovery and resilience, with a touch of romance and dark magical forces plotting behind the scenes. It's one of those stories all fantasy readers love to read!
Two neighbouring kingdoms end up in war after one invades the other. Two princesses follow separate ways after they are forced to flee to safety, two brothers taking opposite sides, while a great evil is lurking in the shadows, slowly setting its great plans to motion.
Something I really enjoyed about this book are the two main female characters. They are both strong and brave in their own unique ways and we see them grow beautifully as the story progresses. There are a lot of obstacles that appear in everyone's path, but in the end, somehow, everyone manages to overcome them. Another trait I enjoed is how the author uses different perspectives to narrate her story, which enables us readers to delve into the different characters' points of view, maybe not too deep but deep enough in order to understand what everyone has in mind. Many times I got those vibes of historical - epic adventure movies we all have watched, which feature medieval kingdoms at war, with those epic battles and princes and princesses doing everything to save them, even though I don't think I can name a specific one at the moment.
The plot is quick paced, and keeps you constantly intrigued, preventing you from losing interest even for a minute and making you want to read one more chapter and then another and so on.Taking into account that this title is the first of a book series, I believe that any questions left unanswered will be dealt with in the sequel.
All in all, this book is a really nice choice, especially for everyone who enjoys fantasy themes. I would strongly recommend it without thinking twice!!!
