Fate Breaker
Victoria Aveyard
625 pages | Published by HarperTeen
The Set Up: In the final book of the Realm Breaker series, Coryane and her companion are separated, but all still committed to stopping Erida and Taristan from destroying the realm. As Erida becomes more committed to her quest for total control, Corayne, Andry, Dom, Sorasa, Charlie, Sigil, and Valtik do everything they can to reunite and prepare for one final battle that will either save the realm or break it.
Victoria Aveyard is THE fantasy writer of our generation, I think. The Realm Breaker universe is expansive, but it never once felt overwhelming throughout the entire trilogy. It feels like a real world with real characters.
I feel a bit over the current state of fantasy/romance/romantasy. I don’t need a sexy and sassy heroine all the time. But VA is writing what Ben Wyatt would call human stories in a fantasy world. More of this, please.
I really loved this final book, although it did feel bittersweet as I often find series endings to be. But I was thoroughly happy with the ending, and I didn’t have any lingering questions go unanswered. Of course, because I’m familiar with Victoria’s fondness for twists, I felt on edge the entire time. I knew there had to be a betrayal coming at some point, and I had fun trying to figure out where it would come from.
All of the storyline wove together really well, and I enjoyed watching all of the companions find their way back to each other.
Always sad to end a good series but excited for whatever Victoria writes next.
