4 Stars

Book 4 in the Forerunner series details Kara’s journey to escape an arranged marriage and follow her dreams to be a warrior like her father. Armed with his own sword will she prove she has what it takes to wield it? Join the Agneson clan as they continue to battle for their lives through Midgard and beyond in this glorious continuation of the Epic Forerunner series!
Batista creates a beautiful and magical world full of rich mythology and captivating imagery that is so much fun to explore. The Forerunner series is a breath of fresh air and I love it! I think it’s awesome that he gives us a synopsis of what has happened in the series so far, before this installment begins. For people like me who sometimes don’t continue a series right away it was very helpful and brought me right back into his story and it fills you in even if you miss a book! The switching of perspectives throughout, also keeps the story moving and feeling fast paced without ever getting dull. It kept me updated on all of the characters too! I felt the passion and determination and even fear from everyone, their emotions came off flawlessly. I loved Kara and Kaelan’s relationship. It was so sweet no wonder the fairies were “attracted to their love like bees to honey.” I also really enjoy Thorfinn and his broken sax/ sword, and the mythical friends he makes. I highly recommend this series if you are looking for intrigue, action, mythology, and fun.
