Editoral Review
Born of Betrayal by Sherrilyn Kenyon is a passionate journey through love, betrayal, and the harsh reality of life. This novel was first published on November 3, 2015, and has since then become a popular fiction novel among fans of the romance genre.
Kenyon is an award-winning author with numerous popular novels such as the Dark-Hunter and The League series. Born of Betrayal is a combination of the romance and fantasy genres.
This novel revolves around the life of a young woman, Sienna, who has been betrayed by her mother and left to fend for herself at a very young age. Despite the struggles Sienna has faced in her life, she manages to survive by the sheer force of her own will and determination.
When she meets the young and handsome Fain, who himself is running from his own demons, they fall in love. However, their love is threatened by the dark forces that are out to get them.
The author does a fantastic job of creating a world that is mystical and unique. The characters are well-written and each has their individual personality traits that make them stand out.
The pacing of the novel is also well-done, as the reader is taken on a journey that is exciting and thrilling. One of the main themes explored in this novel is the power of familial bonds.
The author shows how family can either help or hinder a person’s success or well-being. The story also explores the theme of love and how it can conquer even the most insurmountable challenges.
These themes help to make the novel well-rounded and relatable. While the plot is intriguing, the writing style of Kenyon is not for everyone.
Some readers may find the language to be too flowery, and the use of metaphors to be excessive. However, fans of the fantasy and romance genres will find this book to be a delightful read.
Overall, Born of Betrayal is a well-characterized and well-plotted novel with enough twists and suspense to keep the reader hooked. I would recommend this book to fans of romance and fantasy novels who enjoy a good dose of adventure.
I would rate this novel an 8 out of 10, based on its storyline, characters, and themes.
