Severed Review

Severed

By Megg Jensen

Summary

Reychel knows her gift of prophecy will lead to madness and now she is at her most vulnerable. The enemy army will attempt to sever her from everything she's ever known: her homeland, her friends, Mark, and her gift. Even at her weakest, she refuses to give up on her desire to end the war between the Malborn and the Serenians. Reychel would do anything, even come back from the dead, to conquer the enemy and reunite with Mark.

What I Loved
Final
What a great conclusion to the final book in the trilogy. A few great twists that kept me guessing what was going to happen next and wondering how this story was going to end. It did have one of those exciting ending where you thought it was all finished, but them something crazy happens and we still have more to go.


Didn't Love
I went back and forth on Reychel in this book, last book she was doing so much better with being not so naive but in this book it kinda comes back a bit.

Recommendation
Great trilogy for fantasy readers. Completely enjoyed it and I can't wait to start the next trilogy in the saga.

Oubliette Review

Oubliette

By Megg Jensen

Summary

Reychel thought she was finally free. She was wrong. Everyone saw her gift of prophecy as a blessing, but her gift is uncontrollable. No one alive can teach her to manipulate her unique gift and the answers she needs lie buried within a madman’s journals. She’s thrust in the midst of a brewing war and the only uniting factor for her people is their belief in the Prophet.

Will Reychel learn to control her gift or will she be forced to deliver a false prophecy that could lead her people into a violent war?

What I Loved
Series
This is book 2 in the trilogy and I really enjoyed it more than the first. There was so much information that they get, lots of intrigue, back stabbing, betrayal, needless to say it was packed with a lot of good page turning story. I can't wait to read the final book.
Characters
Reychel: I'm so happy with the path her character is going and how her personality is really starting to develop into a strong young woman.
Romance
A little less on the romance in this one verses Anathema, not a lot in both books, but a perfect about.

Didn't Like
Nothing really, it was all enjoyable fast paced read.

Recommendation
Part of a finished series and saga. Great read for those who like fantasy books.

Anathema Review

Anathema

By Megg Jensen

Summary

Forget prophecy. Make your own destiny. 

Sheltered from the outside world with no hope for escape, slave girl Reychel dreads her fifteenth birthday - when her master’s symbol is burned on the back of her bald scalp. Her best friend disappears the night before, leaving her to face the branding ceremony alone. She soon discovers nothing is as it seems when people desperate for freedom beg for Reychel's help.

Can Reychel learn to believe in herself?

What I Loved
Story
Very interesting story with lots of intriguing things that we get to find out as Reychel learns about it all. Hidden magical abilities that is just being revealed. Escaping enslavement, being in hiding and learning about the world outside of the castle. Not to mention betrayal and intrigue. Every page brings something interesting and new to our attention.
Characters
Reychel: I'm still trying to figure her out, she is still coming into her strength and I think she will find herself more as the next books progress and she gets more challenged.
Romance
Light on the romance, but some sweet innocent romantic attraction that gets her into a little bit of trouble.

Didn't Like
Nothing really. A quick paced intriguing book. So glad the whole sage is published and I don't have to wait, waiting for the next book would be torture.

Recommendation
Great read for any fantasy reader, especially since the series is fully published and you can buy the whole collection as The Song of Eloh Saga

Hell Bent Heaven Sent Review

Hell Bent Heaven Sent

By Megg Jensen

Summary

Originally published under the name Isobel Lucas as a miniseries in 2012, Hell Bent Heaven Sent has been reborn under the author's well-known name, Megg Jensen.

A smoking hot daughter of Hell. A blissfully beautiful son of Heaven. Follow their explosive relationship as they attempt to bend the rules of Heaven & Hell, all while saving the world from a demonic invasion.

What I Liked

Good Vs Evil

Usually it is the girl that is from Heaven and she is being tempting by the sexy boy from Hell, but in this story we have a reversal of roles and I like that. Although she does start out seeming like it will be the traditional good girl bad boy but we soon find out that isn't the case. The lines of good and evil aren't as cut and dry as they usually are in most books with this theme and I'm glad for it since this isn't my usual theme I'll pick up to read.

Story

The book was a fast paced and intriguing story. Although the good vs evil end of the world has been done many times I felt it was a different and original version. 

Didn't Like

I'm not the biggest fan of the whole heaven, hell, God stuff, but the story is good enough and it isn't preachy so that I can easily look past it and still enjoy the story. 

Recommendation

Great read for romance lovers, good vs evil and Megg Jensen fans

Information

Was originally published as 5 individual short stories now you can read all of them together in this one book.

Hidden Review

Hidden

By Megg Jensen

Summary

The mystery enshrouding Hutton’s Bridge is as impenetrable as the fog that descended at its borders eighty years ago. Each year, three villagers enter the mist searching for answers. No one ever returns.

Then a dragon falls from the sky to the town square, dead—the first glimpse of an outside world that has become nothing more than a fairy tale to Hutton’s Bridge. Except to Tressa.

Tressa grew up with Granna’s stories of the days before the fog fell. When Granna dies, leaving Tressa without any family, Tressa ventures into the fog herself, vowing to unravel the foul magic holding Hutton’s Bridge captive. 

What she discovers beyond the fog endangers the lives of everyone she loves.

What I Loved

Characters
Tressa: My favorite type of female character, she struggles with what she must do, but when she needs to stand up and do the hardest things she gets it done. She is willing to make sacrifices for the good of her people and willing to sacrifice her happiness and self for the ones she loves. I'm really excited to see what happens to her in the next book, and I wonder what she will be doing next to save her village again.
Fantasy
I love fantasy, I love new and different worlds that are created and this one is confusing at first because the characters we are following don't even know or understand the world they are in. The whole deadly fog is a crazy and kinda scary concept. I'm not sure if I could do what Tressa has to do without crumbling in fear.
Romance
Although the book mainly isn't about romance, it has a wonderful touch of lost loves and romance. It was the perfect amount for this book. 

Didn't Like

This is the first book in a series and now I have to wait for the next one, I wish it was in my hands right now!!

Recommendation

Great read for fantasy, romance and action lovers.
