Goodreads Summary: With Kira injured and dying, Octavion’s last hope is to plead with the king of Panthera for a cure. But King Ramla’s magic isn’t free. The price he asks Octavion to pay goes against everything he’s fought so hard to protect and could destroy his bond with Kira. Will Octavion trade his crown and swear allegiance to a kingdom feared by all, or will he sacrifice the woman he loves to remain faithful to his father and Xantara? Find out when BROKEN takes you on a journey into the savage and unpredictable world of Ophira.
My Review
This book starts off right where Bound ends. Octavion makes a sacrifice for Kira that he hopes is worth it. Wait, I need to stop there, I really don’t want to summarize the story, because I don’t want to spoil anything. There are so many awesome things that happen, I can’t give it away. There is suspense, romance, heartache, humor, and action.
I loved this book. I could not put it down at times. I would look at the clock, and it would be well past midnight. Broken is very well written, and each character is so unique. I love Kira’s strength. She has a stubborn streak in her, but that is what I liked most. We are introduced to many more of Octavion’s family. Including his father, the king. Many secrets from the past are revealed and Kira will need to find her “inner” strength to get through it.
4 1/2 out of 5 stars. The last half of the book had me quickly turning pages and the ending was awesome! I can not wait for Book 3.
Content
There is some violence, and kissing scenes.
