Amara's daughtercard
Carved from ice with blades of fire the rigidly feminist state of Serenia breeds heroes Unimaginably perfect Amara the Magnificent the legendary Ultimate Warrior is their greatest Five years since Amara s mysterious disappearance her daughter Maryan struggles to escape her mother s formidable shadow Shunned by most her only friends are oddball characters from the edge of society The Queen sees Maryan as an asset to the nation a pawn to play with and a pretty bauble to appease the neighbouring king but lurking beneath the surface an ancient terror plots to wipe out Maryan s bloodline Friend lover and Amara s Daughter is a turbulent rite of passage story tracing Maryan s growth from naive schoolgirl to the woman destiny needs her to be. Amara's daughtereys pub It took me a few chapters to really get into it and the writing wasn t brilliant but got better as the book progressed Amara s Daughter Amara the Magnificent is a Serenian warrior a legend among her people a famous race of female warriors She disappeared shortly after becoming champion at a tournament and was never heard from again leaving behind Maryan a young daughter. Amara's daughtercard Maryan knows she has some big shoes to fill among these warrior women and struggles not to let her people down But she has only a few close friends to help her Most of those who train with Maryan are jealous that she is the daughter of a legend and are constantly testing her It doesn t help that some of Amara s old companions are now in charge of training the young girls They show Maryan no favoritism and if anything are harder on her than the rest especially Asti the Red Once regarded as Amara s best friend Asti now considers her an enemy betrayed by the famous Amara Before she disappeared Amara took off half Asti s face with a blade in a contest to see who would represent Serenia in the tournament and become champion. Amara's daughtereys pub The Serenian queen banishes her own daughter from the kingdom to replace her position with Maryan opening up a whole new set of problems for the young girl Within a short time Maryan is sent off to be married to a prince from another land in order to produce an heir She only learns later that the prince wasn t told she d been forced into the union He is a kind man and she eventually falls into love with him accepting her place by his side But Maryan was chosen as his wife because it was thought she would produce a female child one who could be used politically for another arranged marriage When Maryan has a son instead her life is once again turned upside down her enemies determined to kill the child a child in line to rule once his father is killed I was surprised by how quickly I became caught up in Maryan s problems beginning on page one and not slowing down for a second until we reach the end Along with Maryan we find an entertaining cast of characters including a crippled rat a blind lion and a baby dragon that can breathe fire a dragon that doesn t stay a baby for long The surprise is that they can all speak to her through telepathy and go far to help keep Maryan out of harm s way. Amara's daughtereys pub For all of you who love fantasy romance by authors such as Sherrilyn Kenyon I think you re going to love Amara s Daughter It is a fast fun exciting read and I know I enjoyed every minute I can t wait to read the next one by this imaginative author E H Howard I m hoping we ll get to learn what happened to Amara the Magnificent one day soon Amara s Daughter AMARA S DAUGHTER is the first in the Shudalandia series and we are introduced to this new world by tagging along with Maryan the legend s daughter as we learn about how things work with friends and enemies and everything in between Some of the segues between scenes or people are a bit disjointed which left me floundering until I got my bearings again Also some of the characters are hinted at being a major part of the story but then fizzle out without really giving the reader any connection to them. Amara's daughterly companions Oh the whole this was a great fantasy read that I would definitely say was upper young adult due to the sexual nature of some scenes Amara s Daughter This is a great fantasy somehow a little harsh in some moments and a little bit childish for others It felt part of a bigger story and it is a big story also inside Amara s Daughter
