Summary

With her death foretold, Althea Zoltaire only has three years to become what she’s always dreamed of being: a warrior legend. Women are forbidden to wield blades, so she has trained in secret her entire life. Now racing against the clock, she fights to secure her place in the elite guild charged with the protection of the five kingdoms.

The sparring and hazing of the new trainees border on deadly, but even more dangerous is her growing attraction to Wilder Hawthorne, her unwilling warrior chaperone. All around them, schemes are afoot and darkness looms.

Will Althea pass the perilous initiation test and take her place as a champion of Thezmarr—or will the invading evil snatch away her dream before it starts?

Blood & Steel is the gripping first book in the heart-pounding, epic romantic fantasy series, The Legends of Thezmarr.

Slow burn

it's slow burn, sometimes a tad boring. But you just know this series will be worth it it. Promising start to a great romantasy story.

It’s was okay. A bit too YA even though it’s not meant to be

First of all the narration itself wasn’t my favourite. It made Theia sound 16 not 24. The dialogue also didn’t help as they all sounded more like teen drama kids. The story was okay although there isn’t much plot it’s all character driven and about Theia becoming a warrior and training. It did feel too long. The romance was very very slow burn and again felt more YA.

Not for me!

I tired a couple of times to get into this book / story but it’s just to YA feeling but not in good way in a YA way it’s more like a teen way & I didn’t engage with any of the characters. I also found it boring I’m sorry to say!
