Just finished Blade Breaker by Victoria Aveyard and i give it 5 stars.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
As I said I love the found family in this series. But I would say that I would like to see more of Dom's and Corayne's relationship. Like you see how protective he is of her and how she sees him as a guardian but I'd like to see them interact more...if that makes sense.
I love that we are given multiple point of views and that we can understand the main characters. And the character development I'm starting to see is amazing. Like none of them are who they were when it all began.
And I can't wait til the next book.

"Is it monstrous to want what is owed you?"
- Taristan, Blade Breaker by Victoria Aveyard
(I honestly didn't know what to expect in this book; mainly because I can't remember what happened on the 1st one and I didn't care enough about the other characters except my ship. Yes, I read this mainly because the Erida/Taristan ship has sailed and I'm onboard and yes, they finally had a moment and I think this is one of the best villain romances I've ever read. The Companions, on the other hand, they were mainly okay (just like from the first one) but I want more from Dom and Sorasa (their duo is just great and maybe it'll turn into something more? or I am just a romantic lol). Corayne and Andry were flat. Also, nothing really happened in this book and I agree with some of the reviews on Goodreads about this being a filler book? The plot is okay but not grand as I would expect it to be; also the end was where things amped up and somehow some pieces were conveniently, idk lucky for the companions? like of course it was and they'll be okay because hello, they're the saviors of this realm and also WTF IS THAT ENDING, THOUGH? WHO ENDS A BOOK LIKE THAT? LIKE SERIOUSLY. 3/5, on to the next book, I guess; because I'm all for Erida and Taristan ending the world and also for our protagonists to save it. Both works for me lol)

✩🐉🛡Review:
Victoria Aveyard absolutely outdoes herself when it comes to “Blade Breaker” and it’s ending. 
In this sequel to the “Realm Breaker” trilogy, Aveyard gives the reader the opportunity to explore the Kingdoms of Ibalet, Trec, and Madrence. We are made aware of their differing cultures, values, and monarchs through alternating viewpoints, which is something that I appreciated. One such monarch that Aveyard acquaints the reader with is Isadere, the King of Ibalet’s Heir and Lasreen’s Chosen. Isadere identifies as neither male nor female and uses they/them pronouns, providing necessary and important non-binary representation in young adult fantasy. I absolutely love Isadere’s character in “Blade Breaker” because of their unique abilities gifted to them by the goddess of death and life. I look forward to seeing what role they will play in the final installment of the trilogy! 
In addition to getting to know new characters, the reader is exposed to a new side of certain members of the Companions. For instance, Aveyard allows us to see a crack in Sorasa’s mask when she shares the reason for her exile. The ruthless assassin’s vulnerability humanizes her, making her feel all the more real and relatable to the reader. 
While Sorasa opens up to her newfound friends, Erida shuts down. Her trust in others (aside from Taristan) disintegrates as she embraces cruelty and sheer villainy. I enjoyed reading from her point-of-view and sympathized with the root of her frustrations, but as the saying goes “two wrongs don’t make a right.” In this case, conquering the realm may not be the solution to all of her problems like she thinks it is. 
Corayne’s slow development from young girl to soldier across the first two books was also fun to follow. I particularly appreciated Aveyard’s choice to make her a novice swordsman rather than a skilled warrior. Her progress is more realistic this way.  
Because Aveyard spent a lot of time establishing the world of Allward in “Realm Breaker,” I expected more action sequences throughout “Blade Breaker.” In actuality, this was not the case. As previously mentioned, the band of Companions spend time in multiple Kingdoms. Thus, the majority of the book chronicles the travels of the Companions as they move from spindle to spindle. While the build up is slow, however, the reader is ultimately rewarded with two epic battle scenes in the last hundred pages before being hit with Aveyard’s most painful cliffhanger yet! I cannot wait to see whether or not the realm will be saved in book 3!
➤ 4.5 stars

Hi Victoria!
Corayne and Mare are some of my absolutely favorite fantasy heroines of all time. Bit of a niche ask, but is Corayne's surname an-Amarat inspired by Arabic? Seeing possible Arab rep in the YA fantasy space is so refreshing when written well, and I was just curious if this was your intention! I remember seeing that you see Mare as biracial white and Hispanic; would you envision Corayne and/or Mare as Arab/Middle Eastern descent as well? I think their strength and resilience really stands out in these representations, and I really appreciate your portrayals (of female heroines in general, regardless of ethnicity!)
Great question!
Regarding Corayne - yes, I very much see her as having a mixed race background from her mother's side. And I was thinking about Arabic surnames when naming her (as well as other characters). Her mother, Meliz, notes that she has ancestry throughout the Long Sea (which I see as Mediterranean coded). Specifically, Meliz is of Siscarian, Tyri, and Ibalet descent (Italian, Greek, and Arabic coded respectively).
But race isn't exactly a construct in Allward as it is in our modern day world. Heritage, skin color, or ethnicity aren't tools of division or oppression, so much as simple facts. I.E. A person of color in a predominately white court might be noticed as not hailing from the same kingdom, but won't be looked down upon or othered. I see Allward as being extremely multicultural with an emphasis on travel and trade linking the kingdoms together. I really did not want to write a world where racism existed and did that to the best of my ability.
So I wouldn't identify Corayne as having anywhere near the same experience as a POC!

Content:
A strange Darkness is growing in the War.d Even Corayne an-Amarat can feel it, tucked away in her small town at the edge of the sea. Fate knocks on her door, in the form of a mystical immortal and lethal assassin, who tell Corayne that she is the last of an ancient lineage – with the power to save the world from destruction. Because a man who would burn kingdoms to the ground is raising an army unlike any seen before, bent on uprooting the foundations of the world. With poison in his heart and a stolen sword in his hand, he’ll break the realm itself to claim it. And only Corayne can stop him.
Alongside an unlikely group of reluctant allies, Corayne finds herself on a desperate journey to complete an impossible task, with untold magic singing in her blood and the fate of the world in her shoulders.
My Review:
I have mixed feelings about this book. I liked a lot of things, but I wasn't really blown away by the book.
What I particularly liked about the book was the world building and magic Victoria Aveyard created in this book. The whole world with its secrets, the pirates, the lords, the magic and especially the dark enemies were great and really have a lot of potential.
The characters and the group of main characters, who fight for a common cause despite their differences, have just as much potential.
Unfortunately, the book didn't bring these great elements together well enough and didn't build relationships between the characters, but also between the world and the magic. A lot of things only happened superficially, which is often normal for the first part of a fantasy book series, as a lot has to be introduced to the reader first.
Nevertheless, I was particularly disappointed to see how such a great group of characters and individuals could find so little common ground and really become a team on such a dangerous journey.
The fact that the book couldn't quite captivate me was also due to the fact that the narrative perspectives of the 6 main characters kept switching. This took its toll on the harmony of the story and was unnecessary in my opinion.
However, I liked the idea that brought the main characters together and their fight to save their own world. Also really great were the portrayals of the villains and the atmosphere that was built around them. Here Voctoria Aveyard did exactly what I felt was missing with the main characters and brought them together in their dark endeavours. 
Also the cliff-hanger at the end of the book really surprised me and brought tension into the story that had been missing so far. For me, this story really has a lot of potential, especially because of the interesting world with its many different facets and the individual characters, who just need to be brought together in a sensible way. Despite everything, I will continue reading this series and hope that the second part will finally really blow me away.
Resume:
I will definitely continue reading this book series. The story has a lot of potential, especially with the world building, the magic and the individual characters. However, the first part definitely lacked relationships, chemistry and a proper connection between the characters and the world. I hope this changes in the second part of the book series.
