«Enjoyed is a way too simple word to descrive the beautiful, heartbreaking and captivating experience reading this book was» is what I wrote to Laura after finishing this book, and I start with it here to let you know that I’m really struggling with putting together the words to describe how much I love this book.
Legacy of the Heirs is the second book in the Lost Kingdom Saga, and it did not disappoint! In this fantasy book we have elemental magic, prophecies, romance, rivalries, tension, betrayals and many different POVs.
Secrets of the Dead seems slow compared to this prequel, so actionpacked I many times simply couldn’t put it down. The way the story and backstory unravels within the pages, from the beginning to the end with new revelations and secrets throughout the book, makes it a incredible captivating read.
We follow the four heirs of the four different realms within Novisia, plus the fallen princesses and the commander of Vala. All these POVs seem confusing, but all of them are so different with strong characters, so it is no problem to keep track of everything.
I was not prepared for the way the story developed, without giving anything away, there were some shocking revelations and some wtf plot twists. So many heartbreaking moments, as well as inspiring and empowering ones. The balance between drama, information and more calming scenes were perfect.
Laura writes so beautifully, and the world she has created with the Kingdom of Novisia feels so real and magical. The way she describes places, action, emotions and everything shows the incredible ways she has with words. I annotated this book so freaking much because of the way it is written. The way all the different relationships evolved was so beautiful to witness, both friends, family and lovers.
Laura has made a universe I wanna live in with a story that fills me with all the feelings and characters I want to have in my life. Sje really is one of the most talented new authors.
I can’t wait for the next book in the series, but at the same time I’m not ready at all. If you haven’t read the first book (Secrets of the Dead) this is your sign to read it, and if you have read it you should buy Legacy of the Heirs right away.
