Dauntless

What I liked the most about this book? The characters. They were well constructed and I loved the interaction between them. Also the story was pretty interesting and fun to read.

Dina Sleiman actually stopped by my blog specifically and asked me to review her book for her. Of course I said “yes” so I received this book on her compliments and below is my review :-)

Dauntless is a very well written book that has an exciting new twist on the original “Robin Hood” story. Dina has a very engaging writing style and a talent for creating characters; and when I say talent, I really mean talent! There are so many different (mentioned) characters in this book that I thought the author was going to duplicate personalities, roles, etc. but surprisingly each character was his/her own and there were no duplicates. It is rare to have that many functioning characters in a single book (of about 300 pages) so I applaud the author for her success!

The love triangle was charming, though I did get annoyed with Merry about halfway into the book and may have accidentally rolled my eyes when she finally chose the right guyguilty shrug....Needless to say, the story is completely predictable, however, it has many unpredictable subplots that will satisfy those of us who need surprises. The emotion was captured very well in the scenes that needed emotion and the details were not overbearing. So all in all, I thoroughly enjoyed Dauntless and will go ahead and rate it 5 out of 5 stars.

I can almost promise you that I will be reading book two, Chivalrous, when it comes out in September (must finish the story!).

Thanks for reading!
