I was given a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.
Break Her is the second book in The Transformation Trilogy. You can see my review for Bend Her here 🙂 This book picks up after the mean old cliffhanger we got in book one. This book also ends in an even MEANER cliffhanger. Rude. 😀
Bend Her did all the world building, but in Break Her we got more of everything. Lisane is coming into her magic. She also starts figuring out who she is as a person, and we get to take her innocent journey with her. I like that we get to see more of Rhaim and begin building a connection with him as well.
I talk about this often it seems, and probably will until the end of time. But I feel like some things could have been sorted with a conversation LOL. Lisane is very innocent, and I think that is the problem I had with the book. I understand that is very innocent, especially since she was locked away underground her whole life, but I feel she was almost too innocent. Some of the language was hard to get through. In one sentence, Rhaim refers to her “fun zone” as “the places with hair” and literally the next sentence refers to it as a c*nt. Soooo….kind of whiplashy. That is really my only issue that I didn’t care for.
The book overall was really great. I liked we got to see more plot interaction. World building is great, but can be too much sometimes, so seeing them actually exist in the world together was great.
There was a smidgen of more spice in Break Her, however, it was mostly that sexual tension of you waiting for them to just shut up and kiss already. LOL. I look forward to book 3, Make Her. Again, this book ended on a mean old cliffhanger, and I am definitely needing to know what happens!!!!!
