Book Blitz: In the Eye of the Wind by Katherine Wyvern (Review+Giveaway)




Length: 100,000 word approx.


Blurb

Born in the northern wastes of Kaleva in the middle of a devastating war between light and darkness, Rikko’ has found his way south to the warm shores of the Circled Sea, the first elver to ever turn pirate.

Forbidden by the rules of the Andalouan court to pursue such an ungentlemanly career, Gael can only dream of ever becoming a doctor, and his medical studies remain unfinished until his aunt the Queen sends him on a covert mission to the pirate city of Beyas’kahl.

And here, after one night with Rikko’, all his loyalties are put to the test.

Queen Amata has reigned for three decades, and she always used her men cunningly. But even the best player can miscalculate, and her blunder places Gael first in slavery, then in a naval battle, and finally, worst of all, face to face with Rikko’s darkest and deadliest side.

From such darkness, is there any coming back? Is there any hope of love for Gael, or redemption for Rikko’?


4 Stars!

I really enjoyed this one. The world the author created was quite vivid and intriguing and I found myself completely entranced (I mean, Pirates!). Ms. Wayvern did a fantastic job of making me feel a variety of emotions throughout the story and towards the characters. Gael and Rikko were so interesting and had layers that were fun to get through as their relationship evolved. I was rooting for them even as I was convinced that it wouldn’t go where I’d hoped. They were both extremely likable and I fell hard for them.

I’d definitely recommend this one to those readers who enjoy fantasy and adventure. If you like the anticipation, romance and mystery balanced with clever writing and emotion, I think you’ll enjoy this unique story.

About Katherine Wyvern

I have entered that age when looking at beautiful male models in their prime makes me a cougar, ahem.

Almost all my heroines are short: that’s because I look at the world from hobbit level. Being so small I am three times more concentrated (read: obsessive) than anybody I know. I am exhaustingly creative in writing, arts, crafts... Sometimes my brain gets friction burns from hurtling at such speed from one universe to the next.

I love animals, plants, and occasionally even people.

Like the Highlander I come from a lot of different places. I was born in Italy but lived here and there and consider myself simply and deeply European. I love Europe passionately, its antiquity, its diversity, its quirkiness. All my books are set in Europe, or alternate versions of it.

I have been writing since I can remember.
