Souls Discovered by Miranda Brock: Book Review



Souls Discovered by Miranda Brock
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Good golly miss molly and oh, my heart!

I-I-I just— I need a moment. Excuse me, please.

Wow, okay, so this one hit me right in the feels. Can I say masterful foreshadowing? Dang!

I should probably back up a bit. I had no idea how this book would go. The beginning was a little jumbled for me (I think to reflect on how jumbled it was for Autumn, the main character). It took me a moment to sort out the narrative. I've been reading a lot of first-person lately and Souls Discovered is told in third-omniscient, so it took me a few chapters to get into the groove of things. That's not to say it I didn't like it (I don't finish books I don't like, and therefore don't review them!) it just took my little brain some time to adjust.

About a quarter of a way in, I got into the groove, and I fell in love. This was a completely new type of urban fantasy, with its own mythos. How Ms. Brock juggled 8 major characters, I'll never know, but she certainly pulled it off!

There's angst, action, and world building galore and I'm so glad I have the whole series already loaded on my Kindle.

Now, about the characters. I loved the checks and balances within the group. It's kind of like a badass snow white and the seven dwarfs, except the men aren't dwarves and the evil queen is actually more of an evil species. The fellas are like a bunch of brother-like prince charmings (though love does spring up, thankfully not between anyone who's actually related! ;) )

Okay, so the ending. I need a few minutes to process. Trust me, it's a doozy! Book 2 is downloaded and I'll dive in after I take a few minutes to breathe and adjust to the real world!
