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.
