Pressestimmen
"The entire time I was reading REALM BREAKER, I wanted one thing: for the book to never end. It is classic yet groundbreaking, romantic yet edgy, a rollicking adventure that carries you along at a relentless pace. A true fantasy masterpiece." - Sabaa Tahir, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the An Ember in the Ashes series.
"Set in a sprawling world of warring empires and hair-raising magic that any reader would want to get lost in, REALM BREAKER is a fantasy fan's dream, injected with Aveyard's trademark action, heart, and razor-sharp characters." - Roseanne A. Brown, New York Times Bestselling Author of A Song of Wraiths and Ruin
"Realm Breaker is the kind of book you take with you to your favorite reading chair. The world is rich and built with deep care; the characters are complex and flawed; the story is filled with the kind of sweeping scale that fantasy does best. This is a new classic." - Marie Lu, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Skyhunter
An enthralling adventure, a richly imagined world, and the most impossible odds combine to make Realm Breaker an addictive, tightly-paced gem of a book. Readers will delight in Aveyard's bewitching new beginning, all at once epic in scope and intimate in detail. It's the adventure I was desperate to go on as a teenager and the kind of story I eagerly devour as an adult. - Emma Theriault, author of Rebel Rose
"There are a wide variety of action scenes, daring escapes, and betrayals. . . exquisite descriptions and clashing motivations result in a nuanced, sprawling realm. An epic series opener of old-school high fantasy catering to modern audiences." - Kirkus Reviews
"Like Aveyard's hit Red Queen books, this series starter is a hefty tome with well-mapped details of lands, monsters, and people. Rotating narrators keep the story fresh and leave readers wanting more." - Booklist
Praise for the Red Queen series: "Aveyard's "little lightning girl" remains a relatable and deeply flawed heroine. . . Aveyard adeptly sets the scene for a fourth book to follow, amid a war not yet won." - Publishers Weekly
"Another devastating cliff-hanger ending will leave readers hungry for the final volume." - Booklist
"Simmering with internal conflict and well-devised courtly scheming." - Kirkus Reviews
"Breakneck pace and engaging characters." - School Library Journal
PRAISE FOR RED QUEEN: "A sizzling, imaginative thriller, where romance and revolution collide, where power and justice duel. It's exhilarating. Compelling. Action-packed. Unputdownable."
- USA Today
"Aveyard weaves a compelling new world of action-packed surprises. . . inventive, character-driven."
- Kirkus Reviews
"A volatile world with a dynamic heroine." - Booklist
"[Aveyard] sets her audience up for a gaspworthy twist that reconfigures nearly every character's role and leaves Mare with no one to trust but herself. . . This blend of fantasy and dystopia will be an unexpected and worthy addition to many genre fans' reading list."
- Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
"Fascinating world building. . . Readers will be intrigued by a world that reflects today's troubling issues concerning ethnic inequality, unfair distribution of wealth, pollution, warfare, political corruption, and the frightening power of the media."
- Voice of Youth Advocates (VOYA)
PRAISE FOR GLASS SWORD: "High-stakes excitement and sharp plot twists. . . make this a fast-paced, exciting read and a thrilling sequel."
- Booklist
"Aveyard certainly has a flair for the dramatic, which teens will eat up. The action hits the ground running and doesn't stop until after the last page is turned." - School Library Journal
"Fast-paced and action packed, Glass Sword is compelling and strong, guaranteed to gratify anxious readers of the series and fans of dystopian and fantasy literature." - Voice of Youth Advocates (VOYA)

reread thoughts:Given that I read this about 3 years ago for the first time, I was shocked by how much I still remembered from this. That's unheard of for me, since I have the memory of a goldfish.ANYWAYS.I loved this even more the second time around.Yes it does start slow but it's still such a great set up. And also just a great introduction to the characters, since there are a lot of them.I stand by my original statement. Dom and Sorasa stole the show. I just love them the most.This time around I was also really invested in Erida, which was surprising, cause the first time around I didn't care about her at all.This time around I will continue the series QUICKLY!!!***Testleser penguinrandomhouse earcspoilerfreeWas für ein Start in eine neue Reihe. WOW.Am Anfang war ich mir nicht sicher ob es mich wirklich interessiert, die Story klang super spannend aber irgendwie hab ich mich mit dem Anfang wirklich schwer getan. Es ging einfach so langsam alles.Aber als es dann endlich Schwung aufgenommen hat, da ging es wirklich los.Die Charaktere haben mich total begeistert. Von Anfang an war ich total von der Dom, Sorasa, und Corayne Dynamik begeistert. EINFACH GROSSARTIG. Dafür hab ich mich aber mit dem Rest der Geschichte gelangweilt und konnte mit Charakteren wie Andry und auch Erida garnichts anfangen.Andry ist mir dann erst zur Hälfte des Buches wirklich interessant geworden. Und ich liebe den späteren Einstieg von Sigel, Charlie, und Valtik. Was für ein Haufen an Charakteren. Einer mehr unberechenbar als der Nächste. ICH LIEBE SIE ALLE.Dom und Sorasa haben die Serie für mich gestohlen. Ich bin ganz ehrlich.Die Story ist super geschrieben und das world building war großartig, ich mochte, dass es weiter durch die ganze Geschichte ging, dass sich jedes bisschen Information nützlich angefühlt hat und gut in die Szenen eingebunden wurde.Ich bin sowas von gespannt darauf wie es weiter geht. Es ist so spannend. AAAAH.Ich hoffe im zweiten Band auf mehr Ridha, sie ist mir ein bisschen zu kurz gekommen.***What an incredible start into a new series. WOW.In the beginning I wasn't sure if I would be that interested, the story sounded intriguing but I had so much trouble getting through the beginning of the book. Everything just moved so damn slow.But as soon as the story really got moving, IT MOVED.The characters stole my heart. Right from the start I was totally ino the whole Dom, Sorasa, and Coranye dynamic. JUST INCREDIBLE. So chapters without them were just down right boring to me and I couldn't be less interested in characters like Andry or Erida.My opinion about Andry changed around the middle of the book when things really started getting interesting with him. And I love the late entry of characters like Sigel, Charlie, and Valtik. What a weird bunch of characters. One shadier than the other. I LOVE THEM ALL.Dom and Sorasa stole the show for me, to be completely honest.The story is really well written and the world building was amazing, I love that it expanded throughout the story, every bit of information felt important and useful and was always nicely webbed into the scene.I'm sooo looking forward to see where things are going to go. It's nerve wrecking, actually. AAAAAH.In the next book, I just hope we get more Ridha, cause I think we didn't get to see enough of her.
