Daughter of No Worlds (The War of Lost Hearts)

A former slave fighting for justice. A reclusive warrior who no longer believes it exists. And a dark magic that will entangle their fates....fans of romantic fantasy will devour this tale from #1 New York Times bestselling author Carissa Broadbent.

Ripped from a forgotten homeland as a child, Tisaanah learned how to survive with nothing but a sharp wit and a touch of magic. But the night she tries to buy her freedom, she barely escapes with her life.

Desperate to save the best friend she left behind, Tisaanah journeys to the Orders, the most powerful organizations of magic Wielders in the world. To join their ranks, she must complete an apprenticeship with Maxantarius Farlione, a handsome and reclusive fire wielder who despises the Orders. The Orders’ intentions are cryptic, and Tisaanah must prove herself under the threat of looming war. But even more dangerous are her growing feelings for Maxantarius. The bloody past he wants to forget may be the key to her future… or the downfall of them both.

Tisaanah will stop at nothing to save those she abandoned. Even if it means gambling in the Orders’ deadly games. Even if it means sacrificing her heart. Even if it means wielding death itself.

This is the first book in the new War of Lost Hearts series.

I was so excited to read this book, but it just wasn’t it.. To be fair I read this whilst slumping so badly so I think I would’ve liked it more had that not been the case. That being said tho I just wasn’t sucked in to the story or the characters. I think it’s a great read if you’re new to fantasy and wants something light. But for me I think some of her other series might be more up my alley!

I really like the chemistry between the main characters and the world of magic in this one.

I struggled a lot with this one and was very sad over it because of the hype. I don’t feel this was a good casting specially the male voice. Couldn’t connect with the book or characters and it might have just been the audio (did both). I won’t be continuing the series unfortunately.

I’m not going to lie, I struggled through the first few chapters but the story that develops once you get into it is so worth it. Would definitely recommend!
