Daindreth's Assassin
Daindreth's Assassin | Elisabeth Wheatley
4 posts | 5 read | 2 to read
An assassin falls for the archduke she was sent to kill, but killing him might be the only way to save his soul. Magic has two immutable rules-every spell requires a sacrifice and every curse can be broken. Amira Brindonu is a sorceress turned assassin, bound in a curse that forces her to obey her father, even to the point of high treason. When he orders her to kill the future emperor, she fails, but discovers a secret that could bring the whole of the empire to its knees. The archduke is stricken by a curse that could sentence him and his people to damnation, but Amira could be the only key to breaking it. In a desperate last-ditch effort, the archduke takes Amira prisoner and makes a pact to protect her from her curse if she will help free him of his own. As time begins to run out, Amira soon learns that there are enemies that blades can't touch and there are fates worse than death. Caught in a web of sorcery, intrigue, and her growing feelings for the archduke, the assassin must decide just how much she is willing to give to save the only man she's ever loved. Every curse can be broken, but can two cursed people save each other? Beauty and the Beast meets The Witcher in this Fantasy Romance that is sure to delight fans of Sarah J. Maas, Kristin Cashore, and Leigh Bardugo.

I found this via IG, as the author has hysterical Book Goblin reels, and decided to give this series a try. I like Wheatley‘s writing style. The world building is good, even if the set up drags a bit. The ending is open, prepped for the sequel. I‘m looking forward to seeing how things play out.

ReadingOver50 I love the book Goblin videos too! 3d
Eyelit Gotta love book goblin! 3d
Soubhiville What, she wrote a book?! Must buy immediately! 3d

DGRachel @Soubhiville She has several complete series and has a new series that starts early next year. 3d
Soubhiville That‘s so cool. I‘m not sure why I didn‘t know that. Definitely planning to give her a try this year. 🙂📚 3d
julesG I think you're the first person I know who has read one of her books. Yes, there are lots of positive reviews, but I tend to look for reviews from people I know before getting a book that might be "epic". I'm allergic to "epic" novels. ("epic" to me means something along "drawn out plot/world-building/character development and endless/unnecessary descriptions of mundane things") 3d
DGRachel @julesG I think she did a good job with the initial world building but yes, there are definitely some things she‘s intentionally drawing out and I‘m not best pleased about it. But, the first book was good enough that I want to read at least the next and since they were on sale for a reasonable price, I went ahead and bought the remaining 5 ebooks. 🤷🏻‍♀️ 3d
julesG Okay! Thanks. I'm off to have a look at whether they are on sale here too. 3d

A high fantasy romance novel that is a little too romance for this to be a great book for me, but it was a good read and a very interesting world.
A cursed prince falls for a cursed stepdaughter of a vassal king. They must try to break their curses while avoiding the plots of demons and empresses.
4/5 read for a high fantasy romance that is more realistic about the skills needed to be an assassin than most female assassin books.

iread2much Some of my wonderful #litsylove penpals have asked to see some of my #lego sets, but I‘m having a hard time getting them sized for this app. Sorry all! 5mo
