Savage Wild Hearts by Sean Fletcher
Engaging Fantasy
I relish weekends dedicated to catching up on books I’ve been eyeing, and finding one that grips me from the very first page is a true delight. “Savage Wild Hearts” was the gem of my recent reading spree, marking my introduction to Sean Fletcher’s work, and I must say, it left quite the impression. Here’s why it earned a solid four stars and my wholehearted recommendation.
Set in a captivatingly unique and darker world, the story follows Val, who awakens in the wilds with no memory. Raised to fear the savage creatures known as wildlings, she finds herself entangled in a perilous scheme involving hunting these very beings for their magical heart gems. However, an unexpected encounter with the enigmatic Rune leads her down a path of discovery, unveiling her own latent powers amidst the violent politics of the wildlings.
Rune, with his morally ambiguous nature, stole the spotlight for me. His dynamic with Val crackles with intrigue, leaving me eager to witness their evolving relationship.
The magic system crafted by Fletcher is refreshingly original. I was fascinated by the concept of creatures possessing heart gems that humans could harness for magic, each wildling exhibiting unique abilities such as compulsion, earth manipulation, and healing. Exploring these intricacies alongside Val’s own burgeoning powers promises an engaging journey ahead.
In sum, “Savage Wild Hearts” offers a compelling foray into fantasy literature. With the sequel readily available on Kindle Unlimited, it’s an enticing invitation to immerse oneself in this captivating new world.
