An immersive, intriguing read…
Violence and war test one young woman’s strength in Pigg’s smoothly paced first installment in The Crown and Blade series. The kingdom is at war. But eighteen-year-old Voranea Dakran is content living in her small village with her family by her side. All that matters to her is her family’s safety. When unexpected circumstances put her in the middle of the war, Voranea finds herself struggling to pick between her duty and desire. Voranea’s inner turmoil is rendered with drama, and her connection with Falar is stirring. Her journey from an ordinary young woman to the intimidating Captain Voranea of Raven’s Point is convincing. The subplot involving Falar’s belief in the Light adds further drama as Pigg thoughtfully reflects on the complicated nature of faith, calling, and duty while exploring individuality and self-discovery. The narrative arc is rather simple, but Voranea’s search for purpose and identity make for a page-turning, inspiring read.
