Empath by S. Usher Evans
5.0
Lauren is everything I want to be.
I read this book after my six year relationship ended, I was lost. I didn't know how to define myself without my significant other, I didn't think I could handle it.
Lauren went through similar struggles, but she was more bad ass than I had ever been. I love how S. Usher Evans doesn't characterize her female characters as dependent, little girls who thrive off a mans attention, thus "bringing out the best in them", especially with how a part at the end turned out.
Laurens adventure started off with me kind of hating her for how she was acting, but the more I read, I realized that I had followed some of the same thought processes, and it helped me in a way as a person.
I know I'm making this sound like it's a self-help book, but I honestly just think this is a very well-written adventure that has a lot of meaning behind it for someone who can relate and inspire you that you can be independent and BE OKAY!!
Not only was Lauren fighting off a dragon and trying to find her way back home, there was a psychological growing throughout the story for Lauren and the back plot of that is just amazing.
This is actually my first fantasy book! I adored this book so much, that I've explored other fantasy books and I'm hooked! I really think this is a great book to get started into fantasy, smoothly. It was easy to follow, and a fast read(more like a page turner).
I also adored the romance sub-plot of the story as it was very believable and had it's own complications.
