I was a little unsure going in since the description and opening scene gave me flashbacks to Disney’s Brave, but quickly realized this was a story unique unto itself. The plot moves along at an even clip, not fast-paced or too slow, until the end when it starts to really take off before the climax. The world-building is great, even though sometimes I felt like the main character wasn’t reacting as much as I thought she should be. I mean, this is a fantasy and there were fantastical scenes and creatures being introduced and she took it all in stride. Then again, Evie is a strong, level-headed female, a hunter in her own right, so maybe it wasn’t an odd reaction for her to have at that.
There’s a love triangle in this book, but not really (I think it’s pretty obvious that Evie prefers one over the other). There’s also a lot of instant attraction going on, but I think it has more to do with kindred spirits recognizing each other than insta-lust or love at first sight.
Words Once Spoken ended up being one of my favorite books so far this year and one I wouldn’t hesitate to pick up and read again (I don’t give that honor to many). I would love to read, and will be on the lookout for, more books set in this universe and more books by this author.
