ARC Review - Well of Eida by KB Benson

 Thank you K. B. Benson for this ARC!


Title: Well of Eida
Author: KB Benson 
Genre: Fantasy Romance
Series: The Fallen Kingdoms (book #1) 
Pages: 413


Synopsis:


Two years have passed since Ari was taken as a prisoner to the troll realm. Two years of blood staining her hands, killing as the troll king’s mercenary. In Eida, it’s kill or be killed, and Ari will do anything to survive. 

But survival does not come easy in Eida, especially for a young woman with fire in her blood.

When Ari's sold to one of Eida’s most notorious training masters, her survival comes with a price: unleash the monster she’s buried inside. A very real and very dangerous creature no opponent can defeat.

Ari expects to kill. She expects to survive. But she doesn’t expect the growing feelings she has for the man who has claimed her as his. Together, Ari and her master will cut down every opponent in the arena seeking a wish from their king. 

Until a man from her past challenges her within those walls, and everything Ari has fought for crumbles. All for a man she once loved. But if she is to save her own life, she must take his. 

After all, everyone dies in Eida.


Review & thoughts:


Well of Eida is the first book in The Fallen Kingdoms series and I must admit I was excited to read it since I’ve first heard about this book. I went in with high expectations and I must say Well of Eida exceeded all of them, this book is so good!

I am obsessed with the world building in Well of Eida, it is so complex and fascinating, one of the most unique I have read about and the descriptions made me feel like I was right there in the troll realm with the characters. I loved our main character, Ari, she didn’t have an easy life and she is really strong and badass, but doesn’t always make good decisions and isn’t perfect, which makes her a really interesting FMC that I can’t wait to read more about. I really liked the romance, it is a slow burn enemies to reluctant allies to friends to lovers and I really want to read more about this couple ASAP, despite their rocky start they were amazing together. There is a love triangle in the second half of the book and while I don’t normally like love triangles, I think this one was really well written and can’t wait to see where the author takes it. 

Well of Eida is a really interesting Fantasy book that captivated me since page 1 and left me screaming after that cliffhanger ending. I can’t wait to read the next part of this amazing story!
