I received a digital review copy from St.

I’m surprised the final installment isn’t titled “The Chosen,” but I cannot wait for the finale in The Offering! Breen, Keegan, Marco, Marco’s boyfriend, and Bollocks had better be alive and well until the end.Ĭontent warnings: ritualistic bloodshed (of people and a dog, all with consent), semi-graphic sex (m/f), death of minor character, nonconsensual drugging, killings, mention of homophobic experience from family Yes, I did almost cry toward the end of the book, and that was how I knew this was a five-star book for me. All the good characters are incredibly wholesome, and even though they were all under threat of losing their home to Odran, the overall tone and feel of The Becoming is still wonderful and light.Īnd Breen’s dog, Bollocks the bravest boy! 😭😭😭 Many of the characters are related to each other in some ways, so I drew a family tree (cover your eyes if you don’t want minor spoilers):īeing the chosen one to defeat a dark god isn’t a new plot in fantasy, but woo boy did Roberts give LIFE to all of the characters. As the situation in the world of Fey becomes more dire, Breen has to think fast and train hard to defeat the evil god Odran.Ĭan I talk about how much I love Marco? I’ve been hoping he’s find a special someone in this trilogy and while it’s kind of insta-lovey (the main romance between Breen and Keegan also feels a bit insta-lovey), I’m just very happy. Having learned more about her past and the powers within her, Breen is now back in Talamh this time, with her best friend Marco (gay, Black) with her. Also, I’m not rating for the romance aspect (I’m not feeling the chemistry) I’m rating for how awesome the people in the book are. I love the writing and the characters! Even though I didn’t fully understanding the magics, it’s okay because Breen doesn’t understand either. While I enjoyed The Awakening ( my review), I loved this sequel. The Becoming is the second book in The Dragon Heart Legacy trilogy. Pairing : cishet white woman + cishet fae man Martin’s Press, November 23rd 2021Ĭlick on the cover for my review on Goodreads.
