Corinthe used to be powerful. She used to be one of the
Fates. Now, exiled, she lives on Earth as an Executor
awaiting the final task that will get her back to her home
in Pyralis Terra where she never had to question anything or
feel human emotions. When her last task finally arrives, she
is shocked that it requires her to kill a seemingly kind
human boy, Luc. As her plans to kill him keep going wrong
and they are forced to work together on a mission, Corinthe
will have to decide if this human boy is worth going against
orders that would deliver her back to the home she misses.
FATES by Lanie Bross is an action-packed, romantic YA tale.
The amount of mythology in it makes it a wonderfully
interesting read for anyone who enjoys that kind of fantasy
like I do. I love the hidden details of traditional
mythology elements that make the story feel deep and
extremely well planned out.
Though the romance between Luc and Corinthe comes on a
little strong at first, they win you over more and more as
the story progresses. The devotion Luc has to his sister and
his family makes him feel a strangely realistic mixture of
vulnerable and strong. It makes for an interesting contrast
to Corinthe, who can't label her emotions well, because she
has never felt them before. Her discovery of human emotion
is beautifully narrated, and her journey is full of
tremendous character development that really hooks you into
the story.
Overall, if you enjoy mythology and books like Tera Lynn
Child's, then this would go nicely with that genre. I'm not
sure that I quite love the story, because some parts tended
to be more predictable, but I really, really liked it, and I
would most definitely and eagerly read a sequel.
Perfect for fans of Jennifer Armentrout, Julie Kagawa,
Rachel Vincent, and Sarah J. Maas, and for girls who love
all things pretty, romantic and inspirational.
One moment. One foolish desire. One mistake. And Corinthe
lost everything.
She fell from her tranquil life in Pyralis Terra and found
herself exiled to the human world. Her punishment? To make
sure people's fates unfold according to plan. Now, years
later, Corinthe has one last assignment: kill Lucas Kaller.
His death will be her ticket home.
But for the first time, Corinthe feels a tingle of doubt. It
begins as a lump in her throat, then grows toward her heart,
and suddenly she feels like she is falling all over
again—this time for a boy she knows she can never have.
Because it is written: one of them must live, and one of
them must die. In a universe where every moment, every
second, every fate has already been decided, where does love
fit in?
