Fortuna Sworn

Fortuna Sworn, Book 1

By: K.J. Sutton

Narrated by: Emma Lysy

Fortuna Sworn is the last of her kind.

Her brother disappeared two years ago, leaving her with no family or species to speak of. She hides among humans, spending her days working at a bar and her nights searching for him. The bleak pattern goes on and on...until she catches the eye of a powerful faerie.

He makes no attempt to hide that he desires Fortuna. And in exchange for her, he offers something irresistible. So Fortuna reluctantly leaves her safe existence behind to step back into a world of creatures and power.

But it soon becomes clear that she may not have bargained with her heart but her very life....

What a rollercoaster ride

Omg this book gave me anxiety. I can’t wait for for book two! I can’t wait to see what happens to Fortuna next! So much happened in the 11 hours, it really was a roller coaster of emotions. I need book 2 now PLEASE!!

Obsessed!! 🤩🤩

Obsessed with this entire series!! It just keeps getting better and better with each book!! And don’t be deterred by the lower ratings on here!! That’s because they’re judging it as a stand-alone- but it’s not! It’s going to be a 6 book series!! And this book is just the awesome introduction!! Don’t skip this one!! (Narrator is great too!!) 💕💕💕

Narration was fantastic.

This story was not for me but the narration kept me coming back to finish it.

Brilliant

This book starts hot and doesn’t stop. There is no lull or slowness like I’ve experienced in other book. Right to the action and it stays at that level the entire time. I like the characters and their dynamics, the story and how absolutely bad ass she was from the start and how bad ass she was at the end.

Yes

A little predictable but still great. I love the FMC and the little love square. The story was very intriguing. This book should have way more hype

More please!!

These books are so underrated. The writing, the rollercoaster emotions, the plot, the action, the romance and tension 🧑‍🍳😘👏👏 total masterpiece

I love the premise, almost awesome

I love the premise of this story. The conflict between H/h is believable. With such a great idea and interesting characters, I am enjoying these stories. Connith, the king, remains mysterious and very appealing. He starts out strong, but author changes and lets him kind of drift. I was hoping for more of the interesting things he did in opening chapters. He deserved better. Fortuna is set on “abrasive”, and she has good reason!, however it’s hard to like a constantly angry, vengeful character. I kept thinking she would have been awesome if her thoughts and speech could have been tweaked a bit. Little more creative.
Also, It’s very original concept to have a sort of love triangle, and even a possible fourth intriguing “friend,” two of whom exist, well, in a way only Fortuna can perceive! So very unusual, but it really works somehow.
There was so much to explore that isn’t touched, which is too bad.
The narration started out okay, though I don’t think everything Fortuna says or thinks needed to be rendered SO angry, or so snarky which really grates. Some variation on delivery in general needed. Strangely, About halfway, the different voices begin to blend. By the end, Fortuna often sounds more masculine than the men. The narrator apparently can’t do the deeper range for men but she adequately distinguishes them at first. I prefer some change in the register, but it’s okay how she handled. But it’s a jolt when towards the end they start sounding the same and it’s easy to mix them up.

Fortuna Sworn my new fav Antihero

Okay Fortuna I want you to be you and I am just going to follow along with the ride. You drive me nuts sometimes, but the way you do it makes me love you too. I scream at you, I hold my breath with you, and I cry for you. I want to know your story and I cannot wait to find out who you love and you don't even know it.

Got my attention by chapter 4

Finished this book fast. I enjoyed her take on fairies. I also like how things are shaping up. I do feel like the first part of the book sold me one thing and I opened the bag to find a different item, but I didn't take it back, so it worked.

What a cliffhanger!

Not going to spoil the ending but wow. That last line really got me! I recommend
