If fantasy with magic, suspense and danger is your elixir of choice, then look no further than Heart of the Empire. Ms. Summers does a magnificent job world building and creating characters that you cheer for on both side of the conflict. This one of those stories that you are anxious to see how everything works out but don’t want it to end. Fortunately for the reader, this is but one in a series, so there are more exciting chapters to this original story. Looking forward to exploring the other titles that Ms Summers has completed, while I wait for the second installment in this series.
I was given an Advanced Reading Copy of Heat of the Empire in exchange for an honest review.

Amazing!

Fascinating world. Likeable and believable characters. A well-planned and unpredictable plot. Intrigue, fighting, magic and a bit of romance. True heroes and villains. I'm blown away!
Carrie Summers it's obviously an amazing author and I'll hurry on to read the next book! :-)

Fast-paced, heart-felt fantasy adventure
Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 15, 2020Verified Purchase
What I love in a good fantasy novel, is an easy to read, quick paced, heart-warming story with characters that mean something.
Savra and Kostan are fascinating characters and I loved getting swept up in their adventures. The feelings behind their motives felt true to me, and I rooted for both of them as they continually made mistakes or trouble caught up with them.
On to the next book. Thank you, Carrie.

The book will draw you in from the first page,later on it maybe hard for some to fallow with multi first person views.To me they are needed in this type of story as you move through the telling of the story everything come together. I would recommend this to anyone who enjoy good even paced fantasy.
