Becoming by Raine Thomas
4.0
When I started this book, I was expecting one thing, but then as I kept reading it got better and turned into something totally different. It’s kind of like a mix of greek mythology, magic and of course romance!
My favorite character probably had to be Gabriel, not Amber like most people who have read this might have thought. He was a good friend for Amber and watched over her while keeping her safe at the same time. It’s hard to believe that he is Estilorian. From the minute he comes into the story I knew that I would love him! Amber wasn’t my favorite female lead character in a fantasy novel like this one, but she wasn’t too bad. I’m starting to like Olivia and Skye a little more than her and am excited to read each of the books centered around them.
The story line with a good side and evil, with sisters and all that stuff is really cool. I love how the author came up with all of the cool names for roles such as each of the sisters’ guardians. Once in a while the chapter will switch to the evil side so the reader can hear what’s going on to help you understand a little more. The battle scenes (which I won’t talk too much about) were nicely done and were good at showing the perspectives of everyone in the book from the sisters to Gabriel.
Overall, it was pretty fast moving, and a great fantasy book! I’m looking forward to reading the whole trilogy!
