Fortuna Sworn by K.J. Sutton
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
**3.5-stars**
Fortuna Sworn is the last of her kind. It was her and her brother, Damon, but he went missing two years ago.
Since that time, Fortuna has spent her days blending into the human world while searching for him at night. On one of her searches she gets captured by goblins and brought to the market to be sold.
Luckily she’s able to escape the whole being sold thing, but she did catch someone’s eye whilst at the market; a very powerful faerie named Collith.
Before she knows it, she’s receiving a proposition, her hand for the possibility of getting her brother back. I am putting it simply, but you get the gist.
The story follows Fortuna as she enters the world of the fae, hoping against all hope that she’ll be able to find what she’s looking for.
But if she finds her brother, will he even want to be rescued? And what is she sacrificing in the process?
This was good. I liked it. A solid foundation for the start of a series. I don’t read a lot of fae books, in fact, I have only read a handful that I can think of, but I liked how this one was constructed.
Additionally, I’m very intrigued by the ending and will be continuing on to the second book.
I won’t claim I understand everything going on here, but I loved Fortuna as a character and want to learn more about her and this world.
Fortuna is a creature known as a nightmare, which I have never come across before. Basically, she can make people see, or experience, their worst fears just by touching them. She wields this power as a weapon and I got to say, it’s pretty badass.
As stated above, I’m definitely on board to continue on with this series. I listened to the audiobook and thought it was a great way to take in this story. The narration was fabulous.
Thank you so much to the publisher, Dreamscape Media, for providing me a copy to read and review. I’m so happy I finally had the chance to check this one out. It sucked me in!
