If you had asked me 6 months ago if I would ever read a “romantasy” book I probably would have said no, it’s just not my thing. Well, then my wife convinced me to read Fourth Wing and the sequel and I was hooked. I didn’t expect such great writing. Really, it’s just the fantasy genre I already liked with an added grown up element. I mean who hasn’t wondered about that part of some characters’ lives…fanfic anyone?
Well, now that my mind was open to this genre, I had seen a few pop up on instagram by indie authors that looked intriguing. One of those was Vesselless, and, y’all I might just have a whole new world of literature to enjoy. Cortney does such a great job of building up this world that is part castles, kings, and magical characters and part UFC/WWE, fast cars, and dance clubs, with a lot of mystery, family drama, and high stakes action. The slow burn enemies to lovers relationship between the kick-ass warrior princess (with a heart) Nizzara and half-ghost king trying to reclaim his throne is just icing on the cake.
No spoilers but the ending will have you on the edge of your seat, waiting for the sequel and dying to know know more about everything and everyone in the story.
