Ilustration In Favor Of Books Resenting the Hero (Hero #1)

In a realm beset by natural disasters, only the magical abilities of the bonded Pairs—Source and Shield—make the land habitable and keep the citizenry safe. The ties that bind them are far beyond the relationships between lovers or kin—and last their entire lives…Whether they like it or not.

Since she was a child, Dunleavy Mallorough has been nurturing her talents as a Shield, preparing for her day of bonding. Unfortunately, fate decrees Lee’s partner to be the legendary, handsome, and unbearably self-assured Lord Shintaro Karish. Sure, he cuts a fine figure with his aristocratic airs and undeniable courage. But Karish’s popularity and notoriety—in bed and out—make him the last Source Lee ever wanted to be stuck with.

The duo is assigned to High Scape, a city so besieged by disaster that seven bonded pairs are needed to combat it. But when an inexplicable force strikes down every other Source and Shield, Lee and Karish must put aside their differences in order to defeat something even more unnatural than their reluctant affections for each other…

Assessment Based On Books Resenting the Hero (Hero #1)
(Ignore the cringe-worthy title and cover - this book is amazing!) This book does such a great job of creating a fantasy world. In this world, there are Sources and Shields. A Source, typically popular with a crowd and the receiver of much glory, can stop natural disasters, such as tidal waves. However, to do so is a great trial upon their minds and bodies and could ultimately cause their deaths. This is where the Shields come in. When a Source opens their mind to stop these natural disasters, a

*3.5 starsI really enjoyed this book. Most of all, I was enchanted with one of the main characters - the shield. She was far from perfect and could be dense and such a fool but there's hope for her. She was stubborn in her ways as a result of being isolated and taught how to act and feel. You know what? She was somehow what I have envisioned Kelsey from Queen of the Tearling to be if Kelsey stopped acting like a child. I also appreciate how her friendship with her source Taro was built up. Just

Let me start by saying that I actually like this cover, I know some reviewers despise it, but I don't. I will admit that it lead me to believe this story would be a bit of a romantic farce and actually, there isn't any romance and minimal comedy, but that can be put down to me judging it by its cover (again) rather than the synopsis being misleading. I'd also expected to really dislike Dunleavy because a lot of reviews mention that she's extremely judgemental. While she is judgemental, it wasn't

I think this book, the first in the series, really actually deserves 3 1/2 stars, but since it compelled me to read all five books in the series in a 3 day period, I believe the extra 1/2 star is an "obsessiveness bonus". I picked this book up on a whim from an Amazon List (honestly, I find the best books that way! Thank you Amazon contributors!) It looked to be something I wouldn't necessarily love (a bit twee from the description) but I quickly fell in love with the characters and the world.

The heroine has trained all her life be a Shield and she's certainly adopted the cold, calculating personality that benefits the position. While she is confident in herself and her abilities, she doesn't want to prove herself. Instead of adventure, she wants a calm and respectable life with a Source partner who she can tolerate for the rest of her days. Instead...she gets the hero. Stories of him circulate the city. Stories of whoring, drunkenness and standings of grandeur. Just because he is

What the hell did I just read? This is one of those "so bad it's good" books.I wanted to DNF it a lot because Lee is like, super inept. This is a pretty good example of her: I studied some maps of Middle Reach and the surrounding areas, just because I thought I should. I didnt know what I was looking for, but studying maps seemed like the thing to do before heading off on a journey. She has great intentions, but she is totally clueless in the execution of anything other than her actual Shield

This book didn't fulfil either attempts at being a fantasy or a romance. I don't mind if it focuses on one or the other, but to miss the mark on both makes a boring book.The world building was really poor; the magic badly/not explained. The two main characters could have been interesting but their interactions with one another were too limited - the clash between their personalities was never really addressed so the tension/romance element was badly handled. And the plot...yawn.Disappointing.
