   Keine Keine aktuelle Diskussion zu diesem Buch.  spiritedstardust | Jun 1, 2024 |    ) amethystangel777 | Feb 28, 2024 | RATING: 5/5 REVIEW: I received a free copy of this book from Netgalley and Del Rey books and am voluntarily leaving an honest review. Faebound is the first in a series of fantasy novels by Saara El-Arifi, author of the Final Strife trilogy. It follows the two sisters Yeeran and Lettle, who because of a mistake on the battlefield find themselves in exile outside of any land they have ever known. It is then that they run across a people that they were unaware still existed, and who turn their lives and beliefs upside down. This is an excellent book. Having read the first two books in The Final Strife, I wasn’t surprised by this at all, but I think that this book might even be better than those. I love El-Arifi’s world building, which really does create a whole new culture in your mind as you read. I love the casual way she treats LGBTQIA+ relationships, like they are healthy and normal (the way they SHOULD be portrayed). I love the fact that her characters are mainly black and brown, because there isn’t nearly enough of that in fantasy. Although the vast majority of this book takes place in a small physical space, that doesn’t make it any less interesting or exciting, which I think takes a lot of skill. I am very much looking forward to reading El-Arifi’s future books – of which I hope there are many – and I highly recommend this book!

I just didn’t like this.
Main two characters are unlikeable - Lettel treats Rayan like shit and her sister thinks murdering an endangered animal will bring her glory.
Didn’t like the treatment of animals, the heavy military feel, forced child conscription or the initial established unbalanced-power dynamic relationship.
