Review:
Heir of
Illusion is a solid novel.
In Heir of
Illusion Ivy is Lord Baylors pet and his assassin, forced to do his dirty work.
In a desire to be free from the shackles that bind her, she forms an apprehensive
alliance with Thorne, a reaper, to find a missing sword.
I loved
Ivy. She's smart, beautiful, moral, lethal, and resilient. What more could you
ask for in a female lead? Thorne is your typical dark and enigmatic male lead.
Nothing is going to blow your mind about her romance with this shadow daddy,
but it is serviceable to the romantasy fanbase. Despite that, other characters
are unique and interesting despite being somewhat unoriginal.
The pacing
is pretty fast, but there are times when the novel tended to lag. I felt like I
had to really slog through some chapters. The ending will definitely have you
invested, though.
That all
being said, there's nothing that's going to rock your world here. You've seen
it all before, but that's okay because I think most of us who love romantasy
are here for the tropes and formula that has worked so well in all of the
best-selling novels of the genre.
