FarroBy: Arreana
Khensa, a girl from the slums, is one of the last of a dying breed. Farro blood courses through her veins and for it she has suffered countless atrocities. Orphaned, kidnapped, imprisoned, and tortured, she endures without knowing if it shall ever end. For eleven months she endures...
Enter Bomani, her unintentional savior. Sent by his father to assassinate the high priest, he finds her, bloody, starved, and naked upon the floor. She is feral and half-crazed and yet still he takes her away. He introduces her to a whole new world- his own.
Together they navigate their way around a fragile society of kings, vendettas, and magic. Their story crosses deserts and mountains. It begins with fire and ends with water.
This book was awesome! Right from the start you are dragged into Khensa's story. The first chapter is probably one of the most exciting first chapters I've read in a while.
Khensa is a great lead. She is incredibly strong and doesn't take crap from anyone. She always does things with the best of intentions, and learns from her mistakes. Bomani is a total ass at the beginning, but as the story progresses, you see him open up. Their unlikely friendship is great to watch unfold, and you see them begin to have mutual respect for each other.
The world Arreana has built is insane. And you pretty much have to love a world where krakens exist!
I could not believe where some of these story lines went. I mean really, who would have thought that playing one song on a harp would end up making you have a price on your head? I would explain more but honestly, you just need to read this book to find out.
Farro has so much going on, this story is just so huge, but Arreana does an amazing job keeping the story together and clean. I can't wait to see what happens in the next book!
If you enjoy books with strong female leads, magic, political intrigues, back stabbing, and tiny bits of love in the making, then you should give this book a try!
