Yet her chapters are among the most engaging.Īs this character navigates her evil descent, it’s only appropriate that an equally evil man is by her side cheering the entire way. She’s unlikeable and commits unspeakable atrocities. While this character absolutely could have gone either way, who doesn’t love a villain who girl-bossed too close to the Sun? Blade Breaker further takes us into the depths of depravity in a thrilling and kind of fun way. Making Erida the villain in Realm Breaker was a stroke of storytelling genius. I also wouldn’t be totally opposed to exploring the romantic potential in these characters if it’s done right. This…sometimes works? Honestly, I’d be happy continuing to thrive in the chaos of this misadventure without the romance. This time, however, the sexual tension is dialed up. The team that came together in Realm Breaker is back again, this time more dysfunctional than ever. If a trope works, why mess with it? Throwing together a wildly chaotic group of anti-heroes will always make for compelling reading material. The world-building is on point, the characters are chaotic, and the story is getting wilder. Realm Breaker and Blade Breaker are definitive proof that Aveyard is a wizard of the genre. It’s clear that Aveyard can tell a fantasy adventure story as good as any of the best. It was one of our most anticipated books of 2022, and now it’s finally here. Victoria Aveyard, author of BookTok’s favorite Red Queen, has done it again with her latest book, Blade Breaker.
