The Elemental Titans
watch over Synnor, the only haven from the surrounding wasteland. In
return for their protection, citizens are selected to compete for their
lives with bows and arrows.
Acalan and Iverissa are happy until
the Titans demand that they compete against one another, where only one
can survive. Evading their selection means fleeing the city that they
once called their sanctuary.
As they traverse foreign lands and meet unexpected allies, all that matters is staying together.
With
each step beyond the boundaries of Synnor, they inch closer to
uncovering the harrowing truth that lay hidden beneath the city's
deceptive charm.
My Review: 3 STARS
I picked this up because of the cover and the blurb. I was in the mood for some dystopian and in that regard the book did not disappoint. The world building was rich, but I did feel like there could have been more expansion on it. The characters were relatable and pulled you in, but there were times when I felt like they were a little stiff. The story was well-written but it lacked some of the depth I would have hoped for. Overall it was a good read, and the story came to a satisfying ending, but did feel like the story as a whole could’ve been longer and more engaging that way.
