Foresworn

by Rinda Elliott

It is written that three Sisters of Fate have the power to change the world's destiny.

But only if they survive...

Kat Lockwood grew up listening to her unhinged mother's stories about the Norse goddess souls she and her triplet sisters carry, about fiery deaths and a prophecy foretelling the world's end. Now, to save that world, Kat must find a guy who hosts the soul of a Norse god-a warrior with the lightest blond hair and the darkest brown eyes.

But at a truck stop on her road trip, Kat freezes time while she writes out a cryptic message in runes. The only other person able to see this happen? A gorgeous guy with the lightest blond hair and the darkest brown eyes.

Kat's not convinced peaceful Arun is the future warrior who will turn the tide in the final battle. Yet, Arun turns out to be a lot tougher than he seems. As soul-carrying teens and underworld creatures gather over the world's deadliest volcano, Kat finds that no one, including her sisters and mother, is exactly who she thought they were...

Sisters of Fate

The prophecy doesn't lie: one is doomed to die.

Reviews

I actually wasn’t scheduled to do a review originally for this tour but they sent out info for the books and it was one of those days that I decided to “take a look”. Which sometimes means I just read a few pages or actually read the book. This was one of those cases where I devoured the books. I became obsessed and I read each of the first two books in a day respectively. I was so sucked into the world that I started Forsworn right after Forecast but actually stopped reading. To save the reading high. Some book series just click with me and this was one of those series. It’s hard for me to review the books separately because my brain puts them all together in one big awesome novel.

There are so many things I love about Forsworn along with the Foretold and Forecast. First the books are very uniquely written. Each book is a sister perspective and the timeline of the books overlap. I was impressed with the way that Rinda kept the sisters interactions straight from book to book. I felt like they fit together flawlessly.

Another thing that I think is very cool about this series is that the books begin at the start of the End of World. You often read books that are trying to avoid the start of the End or books that take place after the end. It’s not as often that you see a series taking place during. It was cool the way Rinda took Norse mythology and Ragnarok to bring it about. You could tell that she had done a lot of research just by the amount of Gods and Goddess and how well the mythology was executed. I love a book that makes me want to look things up and learn more about them.

Big battles can be tricky because sometimes you find they fizzle out. In this case I was really happy with the end of the book. I think it was perfect. There events and small battles that lead up to the major showdown at the end. So things come about naturally. It’s not like they are just hanging out and boom everything is over. I really liked how things played out and were resolved. The Epilogue is absolutely perfect.

So the main players. The books center around each of the three sisters and their warriors. Kat is featured in Forsworn and at first I had expected Coral to be the last one but Kat definitely made the most sense. The sisters are similar but have their own qualities that make them stand out. Kat is fierce and protective of her family. She is also probably the most cautious when it comes to people. Arun is kind and quiet and seems to see the good in everyone. They manage to balance eachother out. We see the sisters grow in each book but I think Kat grows the most.

If you have read the first two books,you will not be disappointed in how things are wrapped up. If you haven’t read them. What are you waiting for! Definitely pick them up.

My favorite warrior in the series was Vanir (the bathroom kidnapping scene). My favorite sister is definitely Coral. I love that she is sweet but also fierce. My favorite couple though would be Kat and Arun. They felt like such a partnership.
