REVIEW

I won’t lie, I was expecting something potentially formulaic given how many romantasies share a similar SYNOPSIS, but i really loved how different it felt. There were definitely some themes that seemed borrowed, but it was different enough in the execution to feel new. Yes, you have someone who ends up being chosen, but the WHY and who of this person is a delicious twist. Maybe you see it coming, maybe you don’t. However, the best part of the journey in my opinion is the tension between our MCs.

I enjoyed Dominion and I’m hyped for the next book in the trilogy. I am excited to see this one take off.

Thanks to NetGalley and Putnam for the advanced ebook copy in exchange for a fair and honest review!

PUBLISHER’S SYNOPSIS

In a world divided into four rival Dominions, power is everything—and Rubi Morningtail has almost none. Three years after the Annihilation destroyed her homeland and shattered her memories, she lives as an Azure refugee in the Dominion of the Silver Tyger, scraping by as a ribbon dancer and hiding her little bit of singing magic. When she wounds a massive battle tyger on her doorstep, she draws the notice of Blake Axefire—supreme metal mage, leader of the royal tyger warriors, and the last man an Azure should trust. His sentence? Cast her into the Bonding, a brutal trial where tygers choose their riders and slaughter the rest. Surviving is unthinkable.

But survive she does. Now she’s stuck on Blake’s elite team racing to reseal the Anchors to the demon realm. With rebels striking, demons rising, and the Dominions at each other’s throats, Rubi must unlock the truth of her magic and her past…while resisting her dangerous attraction to the ruthless warrior who could be her redemption—or her ruin.
