Daughter of No Worlds by Clarissa Broadbent
Blurb
A former slave fighting for justice. A reclusive warrior who no longer believes it exists. And a dark magic that will entangle their fates.
Ripped from a forgotten homeland as a child, Tisaanah learned how to survive with nothing but a sharp wit and a touch of magic. But the night she tries to buy her freedom, she barely escapes with her life.
Desperate to save the best friend she left behind, Tisaanah journeys to the Orders, the most powerful organizations of magic Wielders in the world. But to join their ranks, she must complete an apprenticeship with Maxantarius Farlione, a handsome and reclusive fire wielder who despises the Orders.
The Orders’ intentions are cryptic, and Tisaanah must prove herself under the threat of looming war. But even more dangerous are her growing feelings for Maxantarius. The bloody past he wants to forget may be the key to her future… or the downfall of them both.
But Tisaanah will stop at nothing to save those she abandoned. Even if it means gambling in the Orders’ deadly games. Even if it means sacrificing her heart.
Even if it means wielding death itself.
First impression.
I’ve seen over and over again that if someone loves Throne of Glass they need to read this series. I finally picked it up and at 4% in, I think I’ll be glad I did. Carissa Broadbent is known for things being a bit spicy, but I’ve read this one is not so much. I hope so!
What kept me reading (or didn’t).
Finally. Finally. FINALLY a story that feels very different, but has the same deep impact as TOG. I am currently halfway, and I am in love with every character!
They are fully fleshed out, with their own backstories and trauma that makes them who they are.
I want to finish the book, but I also want to savor every page to absorb each one on this very first reading of the series. I’ll only get to read it for the first time once!
Chapter 41. Oh. My. Goodness. Chapter 41.
Max. Oh Max.
Chapter 42. Oh Tissaanah!
After taste.
I literally could not read this one fast enough, but forced myself to slow down to enjoy every page. The relationship between Tissaanah and Max is so perfect, and while their relationship grows, the surrounding cast throws questions and doubt into the decisions being made. It’s the perfect blend of a slow burn, satisfying romance, with the danger and intrigue of a cast of character with dubious intentions that aren’t at all clear!
Overall impression.
I am so glad I finally picked this one up. The audio is well done and helps A LOT with the pronunciations. I have to say that Maxantarius Farlione is my favorite though! I do not own the hardcovers for this series yet, as it seems they are getting redone. I wish I could get these specific covers, but alas, the ebook image is still amazing.
