Review Detail

Destiny is the final book in the Fractured Kingdom Trilogy. It has a thoroughly satisfying conclusion. Having all the bad guys who do evil get a thorough comeuppance and having fairness, diversity, and class equality prevail is just the vibe I needed.
This book has an interesting dichotomy on how women are treated. Persephone is the heroine. She is smart, sassy, and capable of saving herself when kidnapped. She is a natural leader and handles it all effortlessly. However, this book does not shy away from the fact that most of her troubles stem from bad men seeing her body and what bedding her could do for them. Aurelia is treated as a sexual object to be bartered and used by uncaring men, and her story arc is quite brutal, so the trigger warning is warranted.
This story provides action and adventure. There is romance and heartbreak, as I said before, good conquers evil unequivocally, so this is a good choice if you like the epic fantasy feel of the 1970s-1990s era.
