Rachel's Reviews > Girl of Myth and Legend

I received this book from NetGalley in exchange for a review.

Wow, can I just say that was a great book. Lately I can tell how good a book is based on how long it took to read it(especially since I have a 4 month old and can't just sit and read all day like I used to). This book took less than 3 days. It would have been done even faster but like I said...4 month old and a full time job. I thought this was a great story set in a wonderful world of fantasy. Leonie and Korren are just fantastic with the way they get along, they kind of remind me of a romantic version of Vanellope and Ralph from Wreck it Ralph(you know if Vanellope was a teenager and Ralph was a broody immortal). The banter between the two(or should I say the one sided comments Leonie has) are just hilarious. Serious at times while still making me laugh, just great. I could hardly put it down. One thing I thoroughly enjoyed was that there was no love triangle. I am so sick of every fantasy book lately being a love triangle so this was very refreshing. The only part of the plot I didn't enjoy was what happens to Jacob. I'm more of a happily ever after type so I was sad that she didn't keep him around to be like a little brother to Leonie. And of course I was highly disappointed at the end as I knew this was book one of who knows how many but what I failed to realize was that this book isn't even out yet! So I have to wait even longer for book 2 to come out. Other than that I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a serious fantasy with a side of comedy.
