So I may have got a little bit carried away with this review. But Fortune's Fool by Angela Boord has given me many thoughts and even more feelings, and even then I don't feel like I've done it justice. What an absolutely spectacular book and I'm ready to dive into the rest of the series.
Book Review: Fortune’s Fool (Eterean Empire #1) – Angela Boord
Summary: A bad reputation, a metal arm, and a burning need for revenge… Once played as a pawn in a deadly game of feuding Houses, Kyrra d’Aliente now makes her living in male guise as the ruthless mercenary Kyris di Nada. Yet hidden beneath her tough exterior lies a woman driven by one thing: the belief that her lost love, killed in the war he fought on her behalf, is still alive.

It’ll take time but, eventually, your books will find their audience.
Been here nearly
7 years, writing nightmarish things I’ve only recently learned might interest fans of Malazan and Dark Souls. Gained numerous comparisons to Poe, been called the modern Poe.
Check ‘em out?
