Imagine The Lord of the Rings if the Fellowship had failed . . .

What happens when all the heroes are dead and only the morally grey misfits are left to save the world?

SAVE THE WORLD OR END IT . . .

Even pirate's daughter Corayne an-Amarat can feel something is seriously wrong with the world, tucked away in her small town at the edge of the sea.

Then fate knocks on her door in the form of an immortal warrior and a lethal assassin, who tell her she is the last of an ancient bloodline with a secret power singing in her veins.

They also tell her that a vengeful mercenary wielding a stolen mythical sword with a plan to slice open the very walls between the worlds is raising an army unlike any seen in history.

He will break the realm itself to claim it for his own - and only Corayne can stop him.

From a sprawling cast of knights, witches, monsters, gods, and dragons to an exquisitely slow-burn villain romance, Realm Breaker is an unmissable YA epic fantasy perfect for fans of the huge worlds of Sarah J Maas and the found family quests of V. E. Schwab.

Good plot, but too much world building. I wish there had been fewer POV’s and more focus on the main characters development and their relationships with each other. You need quiet tender moments and humour to make you love them and care when they are betrayed. The world was really too big, all these names of places being chucked at you and you have no idea where they are or why they matter. I hope the characters shine more in book two!

Let down by the characters

Realm Breaker is a good story, I'll give it that. But I felt like so much of this book was setting up what is going to happen and introducing characters. Rather than giving a substantial story, especially given how long it is.
I think the only reason I could cope with how slow it was was because I saw somewhere that it was inspired by Lord of the Rings. And if you've read those books you know just how slow they are.
I enjoyed it and I'm definitely interested in seeing what's going to happen in this series.
But I really hope that pace picks up and the story /really/ gets going.

It was enjoyable but pretty slow...

Second read of this book and while slow in places looking forward to reading book 2, however, some of the character voices 😖. Would have loved Moria Quirk reading this 🤓

Great story

Love the characters & world building but the story was all over the place. No plot, no direction, no suspense. Couldn’t finish it.

What even happens?
