Kaitlyn‘s review of Legends of Thezmarr Series by Helen Scheuerer
Romantic Fantasy published by Alchemy 2023 – 2024
The Legends of Thezmarr is one of my new favorite romantasy series for sure – it has everything. There’s training, mentoring, reluctant allies, found family, an epic conflict spanning all five books, overall badassery, girl power, hilarious characters, quests, adventures, swoon-worthy romance, and so much more to love.
I rooted for Thea and Wilder so much throughout the series, but Kipp and Cal are the true stars. I don’t know what we did to deserve those two. The sister relationship is also incredibly great. Helen gives us so many storylines to follow and fall in love with in this series.
I read the prequel, Slaying the Shadow Prince, second and I think that works really well. After the first book is a more natural place to stop. Books 2 and 3 end on serious cliffhangers, and you’ll want to immediately start the next ones. Whatever you do, just don’t skip it!
Thankfully, Helen isn’t done with this world and there’s a spinoff series coming next year. I can’t wait to see what everyone is up to and what new epic storylines we’ll get. Can’t recommend this series enough. Definitely add it to your TBR, if it’s not already there.
Grade: A
Summary:
From Blood & Steel, Book 1:
In a realm on the brink of destruction, evil forces snatch innocents to suffer fates worse than death. Only a monster hunter and her monstrous enemy can stop them.
Drue Emmerson, noblewoman-turned-ranger, wants one thing: vengeance. With her family slain by the vicious shadow wraiths, she’s determined to defend her fallen kingdom. And that means carving out the hearts of every dark creature she can find.
Talemir Starling, celebrated warrior of the realms, has a dangerous secret: he’s a half-wraith, kin to the creatures wreaking devastation on the world. He’ll do anything to keep his true nature under control… especially around the woman who’s vowed to destroy him.
When someone Drue cares about disappears, all signs point to Talemir’s kind. But he’s determined to prove he’s no monster, and to seek answers of his own. Begrudgingly, the pair must join forces to uncover the deadly truth.
But in a world of chaos and carnage, where danger lurks at every turn, deadlier still is their attraction to one another – the one thing that might just spell the end of them both.
Will Talemir win Drue’s heart? Or will she carve his out before the end?
