Description

IN THE UNDERGROUND FAE REALM, ONLY THE STRONGEST AND MOST RUTHLESS HAVE POWER - BUT A YOUNG HUMAN WOMAN FORCED INTO A LIFE OF SERVITUDE IS ABOUT TO CHANGE EVERYTHING

'A darkly enchanting page-turner laden with sensuality and intrigue' THEA GUANZON

****

Kenna Heron is a servant in the faeries' underground kingdom of Mistei. Known in her village for being a little wild, Kenna must help her mistress undertake six deadly trials, one for each branch of magic: Fire, Earth, Light, Void, Illusion, and Blood. If she succeeds, her mistress will gain immortality and become the heir to Earth House. If she doesn't, the punishment is death - for them both.

With only a sentient dagger of mysterious origins, Kenna must face monsters, magic, and harrowing tests . . . But worse dangers wait underground, and soon Kenna gets caught up in secrets and passion. With time against her, Kenna must decide if she's willing to risk her life for a better world and a chance at happiness.

Surviving the trials will take cunning, courage, and an iron will . . . but even that may not be enough.

I don’t even know where to start with Servant of Earth by @mssarahhawley Sarah Hawley, but I shall do my best. Kenna is a human that has found herself living in the underground Fae realm, serving House of Earth. Part of her servitude is helping her mistress pass the trials for immortality. Things take a turn when Kenna gets embroiled in a secret rebellion to overthrow the Fae king of all the houses.

If you’re looking for a new fantasy romance that has a little bit (or a lot) of everything, Servant of Earth is for you. Court intrigue, magic, dangerous trials, adventure, politics, and romance are abundant in this novel, and masterfully done. Sarah weaves the most enrapturing story, I could not put it down!

Oh. My.

This was truly, undoubtedly fantastic.

Excellent world building, incredibly expressed cruelty and clever politics, unbelievable twists, unexpected revelations and betrayals.

I loved Kenna as a character, her journey and bravery, her kindness and strength.

The romance was a small part of the overall story, and the few spicy scenes were scorching, really well done.

I suspect we have a Tamlin situation going on here, and someone else will turn out to be the love interest, and I cannot wait to find out if my predictions will come true.

The action towards the end blew my mind even more than everything leading up to it, and the final pages made me very hopeful and excited for the next book.

Just overall absolutely sensational!
