Frey

First of all, I received a copy of this book signed from the author so my thanks to Melissa Wright!

*Spoiler Alert.*

This is the best kind of story: action packed, a little bit of sexual tension, and a heroin who has yet to find herself. Literally, in this case.

Freya, Elfreda, Frey...this is our main character! But she doesn't know who she is. And she doesn't know that she doesn't know who she is because all of her memories have been stripped from her. The story starts in a small Elvin town,(Yes, this story is about ELVES:), where Frey lives with her completely nuts Aunt Fannie. But Frey is quite unlike the others. She has no magic. She can't even make plants grow! Then she accidentally chokes a girl with her thoughts. And a man called Chevelle is eliciting strange reactions in Frey. She doesn’t know if he’s to help her or hurt her. When things begin to spiral out of control, Frey does the only thing she can and runs. But what she finds makes her question the truth of everything. It seems that the Grand Counsel of Elves have put binds on her, but the only way to take those binds off are to kill all the members. And so, with dear Chevelle in tow, that is exactly what starts coming to pass.

This is really a spectacular piece of literature. The writing is not only well done without any errors but it’s eloquent and easily flows between the characters. The characters seem life like in reactions and abilities, yet stay within the bounds of the fantasy world they were created for. They are…memorable. Fun to read, simple to hope for, best to devour but also good to take in slowly. The plot is twists and turns in manners that are unexpected. I was constantly on the edge of my seat.

What I really liked though is Freya. At the start we are presented with this woman who does not have any idea who she is, but won’t even fight back. As we progress we begin to see the shifting of another person within Frey. A wild, strong person that is longing to be brought out. And the journey is not a pleasant one. (Well, it wouldn’t be when all of your memories were blocked and the only way to get them back was by killing those who bound you in the first place, would it?)

One last thing to adress. The romance-my favorite part!!!-Chevelle is the love interest here, and maybe I haven't made this clear with other reviews but I loved the guys that are completly and utterly lost for thier girl, the ones that have imperfections and still are drop dead and willing to do whatever to protect! That perfectly discribes Chevelle. He is loyal, he is so very handsom *sigh, I love blue eyes. Dark and deep like the sea*, and he is fierce.

Overall, I was dissatisfied with nothing. I really really really enjoyed Frey.

At first the book is a little hard to get into but then it picks up and find that you can't put it down! I just loved it!!! The character were a little hard to get a fell for in this book and I had to read all the way to the end to put some of the pieces together but other than that it was A-W-E-S-O-M-E!!! I really recommend you read this book if you want to be entertainment, thrilled, upset, and then blown away!!! ^_^

The main Character Frey is a bad main character. She doesn’t have the curiosity that would allow the reader to gain new insights. She just sits there and lets the story pass her by. If she asks a question and the other characters brush her off or don’t answer it frey retreats into her mind and just RAMBLES. Soooo much rambling paragraphs. It’s literally so *ucking uneeded. The reader literally never gets any of the beginning questions answered. Ike I said a horrible main character.
The lack of chapters makes transitions indistinguishable to freys rambling paragraphs. Much of this book is literally PAGES of frey rambling that you can just scroll past before a character talks again.
They also never touch on why all of these people come together to back her. She has zero life purpose. Frey just simply exists.
Really a terrible waste of your time. It would have been a great story if written by someone else or just written a lot better. The book is littered frequently with grammatical errors as well.
