You cannot fathom the realms I’ve seen, the endless ages, the limitless bounds of greed and fear. You cannot know how wrong you are. I almost pity you.’ The voice rippled over her, making her skin crawl. ‘And while I hate your heart, I admire it too.'” Though Taristan’s hellish god made her shiver, He also brought her some comfort too. What Waits was better than any shield, and he made her husband near to a god himself.” Kenny and Hilary are based on Rokumaru and Kurumi from Next Generation Beigoma Battle: Beyblade who fulfilled similar roles to Tyson as they do in the anime. Rokumaru is Tyson's "coach" and Kurumi is a girl who just got interested in Beyblade. A divided realm must rally, an unstoppable enemy must be defeated, and the fate of the world rests on a blade’s edge.

With Blade Breaker, Aveyard has crafted a conflict with real emotional stakes for every major character—and some supporting ones as well: Dom’s cousin Ridha gets plenty to do here—and created moments in which they are frequently forced to make seemingly impossible choices from a plethora of bad and worse options. There are complex, nearly overwhelming battle scenes and plenty of moments of genuine horror (most of which involve the aforementioned skeleton corpse army). I see anger in you, Princess,” Kesar said softly, hesitant. Tentative as a traveler walking across broken ice. Victoria Aveyard, author of BookTok’s favorite Red Queen, has done it again with her latest book, Blade Breaker. It was one of our most anticipated books of 2022, and now it’s finally here. It’s clear that Aveyard can tell a fantasy adventure story as good as any of the best. Realm Breaker and Blade Breaker are definitive proof that Aveyard is a wizard of the genre. The world-building is on point, the characters are chaotic, and the story is getting wilder. It’s a book journey well worth taking. Merry Band of Misfits

She tasted blood too. The blood of Gallish soldiers, the blood of sea serpents from another realm. And, of course, her own blood. So much blood Corayne felt she might drown in it. What Blade Breaker does best is further the stories of the characters we came to know and love in Realm Breaker. The stakes may be cosmically high; however, these characters are incredibly relatable in their world-saving quest. It’s clear Aveyard is committed to continually exploring her characters with greater depth, in spite of everything happening around them. The story is richer for it. A Love Letter to I’m Sorry and a Tribute to Funny Moms in 3 Bits By Annie Berke September 6, 2023 | 11:48am Andry’s natural instinct was to swallow his retort, to bury rough words. To find a gentler way. But the road had ways of changing a person, especially the road they were walking now.”

All of their Bit-Beasts start with "Dr-". Also, you must exclude the 'Strata / Gaia' part of Daichi's Strata Dragoon to make this count. Kenny's bit-beast seen in G-Revolution is "Hopper"; a frog. The only other relationship I enjoyed in Blade Breaker is the reluctant camaraderie between Sorasa and Dom, which might actually be progressing into something more. These two, who have previously had a contentious relationship, have come to terms with the fact that they trust and rely on each other to accomplish their goals. As more comes to light about Sorasa’s past, I was more interested in Dom’s reaction to it than what the novel told readers about her actual past itself. The two relationships between Eridan and Taristan and Dom and Sorasa show the most complexity and nuance this series has to offer. Not only is it bad enough that Blade Breaker throws in these types of bizarre, nonsensical metaphors that don’t even fit with each other, but on top of this, the novel adds further statements that read as incredibly melodramatic. Characters have no issue literally announcing “into the jaws of death we go” or that their companions “remained silent, bent but not broken, resolute before their doom.” Frankly, people do not talk in such a histrionic manner, especially when they’re in life-threatening situations! These types of expressions and declarations are way too over-the-top and make the novel feel more like a parody of the genre, because how could a serious novel ceaselessly state this kind of stuff? Near the end of the novel, I was wholly nonplussed by the villain’s speech, as he went from ranting about how awful humanity is to complimenting the heroine —all in one little tirade: But what Taristan unleashes next might burn the world to the ground before there’s any chance at victory. I will say that some characters are a bit more fleshed out than Corayne or her perfect squire-boy Andry, however. The saving grace for Blade Breaker for me was most definitely the villains. Taristan and Erida, who seek to turn Allward into an empire under their and He Who Waits supreme and malevolent control, actually have some rare layers and complexity to their feelings. Erida struggles with her attraction to her new husband, her bloodthirsty ambition, her need to placate her courtiers, and her fear of He Who Waits and his undead armies. Erida and Taristan’s budding romantic relationship and often horrific actions were the main reason I was able to push through reading this book. I honestly would have much preferred to read an entire series about these two taking over the world and not have to deal with all of these other uninteresting characters who more or less have one defining feature of their personalities.

Fighting beside her band of unlikely companions, Corayne is learning to embrace the power of her ancient lineage and wield her father’s powerful sword. Do you think multiple-point-of-view narratives impact readers differently than single-POV novels? Which characters' perspectives do you like most? Are there any characters whose chapters you wish weren't included? Blade Breaker is a worthy addition to the series and to the fantasy genre. It will make you laugh, cry, and think. It will also leave you enamored with the universe, and will have you cheering for the heroes to succeed. What else can you ask for in your next read? Making Erida the villain in Realm Breaker was a stroke of storytelling genius. While this character absolutely could have gone either way, who doesn’t love a villain who girl-bossed too close to the Sun? Blade Breaker further takes us into the depths of depravity in a thrilling and kind of fun way. Everything Erida does is despicable. She’s unlikeable and commits unspeakable atrocities. Yet her chapters are among the most engaging. This time, however, the sexual tension is dialed up. This…sometimes works? Honestly, I’d be happy continuing to thrive in the chaos of this misadventure without the romance. I also wouldn’t be totally opposed to exploring the romantic potential in these characters if it’s done right. Twice Queen, Rising Empress

Common Sense is the nation's leading nonprofit organization dedicated to improving the lives of all kids and families by providing the trustworthy information, education, and independent voice they need to thrive in the 21st century. The sequel to Victoria Aveyard’s instant #1 New York Times bestselling Realm Breaker features more of the breathless action, deadly twists, and gripping magic that makes this series perfect for fans of Garth Nix and J. R. R. Tolkien. Very little romance, but a newly married couple speaks of their marital duties and the groom pretends to deflower his wife by mussing her hair, wrinkling the sheets and even spilling some blood on the marital bed. There are a couple of kisses as well as references to a man's legendary dalliances and how they resulted in a secret daughter. Two teens flirt, hold hands, and exchange meaningful, lingering looks but never kiss or otherwise admit their feelings for each other. Two adult characters' perspectives make it clear they find the other attractive, but there's no spoken declaration of those feelings. As I am really not persuaded that these two would choose each other if they had absolutely any other romantic options and weren’t consistently in life threatening situations, their relationship is uninteresting to me and reeks of codependency formed from shared trauma. I also completely agree with Dom that the last thing Corayne needs to do is fall in love and get herself killed trying to save someone when she’s the key to saving the world. Though I’m sure his disapproval is simply thrown in to add some much-needed spice to their bland developing romance, it just feels like good old plain common sense to me, and not at all like the forbidden or epic love I’m sure Blade Breaker hopes their relationship will come across as. But I am a pirate’s daughter, she thought, heart pounding. Her mother, the bronzed and beautiful Meliz an-Amarat, grinned in her mind’s eye.I began this day on one battlefield, and now I stand on another entirely. She certainly felt like a soldier, fighting with wits and intelligence instead of a sword. A sword is far more simple.” But while they successfully sealed the Spindle Taristan opened, they can’t rest easy yet. With his army marching across Allward, opening more portals into terrible alternate worlds as he goes, Corayne has no choice but to rally her own army and become the hero she’s destined to be.

The entire story is a heart-wrenching exploration of trauma, and the healing that comes from the support of those around you. Blade Breaker is the best of the found family trope. It also never devolves into trauma porn. Rather, this entire story is an authentic portrait of broken people trying their best to navigate the circumstances in which they find themselves. Since Victoria Aveyard launched the instant #1 New York Times bestselling Realm Breaker, the series has taken readers by storm. Now the sequel is here to continue this epic fantasy series. How is romance handled in the book? Are you surprised there's not more of it? Which pairings are you rooting will get together in the next installment? Corayne has no choice but to assemble an army of her own if she's to save the realm as she knows it. But perilous lands await her and the companions, and they face assassins, otherworldly beasts, and tempestuous seas all as they rally a divided Ward to fight behind them.Bridge to the Future · Chandora (India) · Dark Nebula · Dark Nebula Again · Dark Trident · Death Stream Scissors · Desert Blaze (Arabia) · Dungeon · Excalibur (Europe) · Face Hunters · GanGan Galaxy/ Gingka's gang (Japan) · Garcias (Brazil) · Hades Inc. · Lovushka (Russia) · Star Breaker (America) · Wang Hu Zhong (China) · Wild Fang (Africa) The Flying Dragon sword is also very large, actually surpassing the Breaker Blade in terms of image area, although it is held higher up the handle when used, therefore not surpassing it in overall swing distance. The hitbox extends negligibly farther horizontally by about a pixel, but falls short in vertical distance. Like all good zombie content, Blade Breaker leans in to the tragedy of the undead. It is always effective to remind readers that even hypothetical undead would be made up of actual former human beings. Blade Breaker’s ending is particularly heartbreaking. The set-up for the next entry in this series will be rooted in tragedy, continuing the themes that have already been introduced. Blessed Are the Burned The hall echoed with triumph, but all Sorasa heard was the tolling of a death knell. Even as she smiled, dread curled in her belly. It was never far away, but now it reached for her with icy claws, its sting sinking too deep.”
