We backtrack to Rielle, the character in the past, to discover how she got to the state in which we see her in the prologue. It divides the book, and we then follow two women living a thousand years apart. It’s a scene that appears to show how one story ends and the other begins. Legrand introduced this premise in the prologue. (This isn’t a knock I love high fantasy! That’s why I read so many of these series.) Yet Furyborn has a unique premise nestled in among these similar themes. So many fantasy series have debuted in the past few years, and we see common themes among them: A kingdom is in turmoil for some reason or the other, and the protagonists must fight for what’s right-and often for their lives-to save their people. This is the best series opener I’ve read in a while. No spoilers in this rapid review of Furyborn by Claire Legrand.
