A review by xmeroyce
Realm Breaker by Victoria Aveyard

4.0

I ate this up like candy corn the day after halloween. The worldbuilding was immaculate. The smells and colors and attitudes of each culture and character were fabulous and I had an absolute giddy nerdy time finding all the nods to LOTR. I found myself constantly theorizing and making notes of potential foreshadowing and - literally - Erida is such a baddy. And why am I kind of rooting for the villains as much as our band of heroes? Diving into book two like a horse in a desert oasis.
