The Books of Eva, Book 1

By: Heather Terrell

Narrated by: Angela Brazil

The truth will test you.

For fans of Game of Thrones and The Hunger Games, high fantasy and dystopia meet in this high-stakes tale of a civilization built on lies and the girl who single-handedly brings it down.

When Eva's twin brother, Eamon, falls to his death just a few months before he is due to participate in the Testing, no one expects Eva to take his place. She's a Maiden, slated for embroidery classes, curtseys, and soon, a prestigious marriage befitting the daughter of an Aerie ruler.

But Eva insists on honoring her brother by becoming a Testor. After all, she wouldn't be the first Maiden to Test - just the first in 150 years.

Not up to the competition

Bought this bc I read it was a combination of hunger games and GOT- it wasn’t. I could see the connection to Hunger Games but substance was predictable and repetitive. Far from the edge of your seat excitement of the two books it was compared to.

So stupid I was entertained

Book was free but it was so absurdly bad, I was entertained and bought the second book.

Eva, the MC, is dumb as a stump and sometimes haughty to her servant Lucas who actually knows Apple is tech (and how to use it) as opposed to Eva who thinks Apple is an evil god and cell phones and laptops etc. that people prayed to the evil god Apple.

I get it, but the author couldn’t pull it off without it being laughable.

And plot holes. Come on.,.it’s only been 240 years. The Boundary People still use technology (that somehow the Chosen Ones don’t know about, and no stories of the World Before exist so that this made up medieval society hear something?

These idiot maidens and gallants are ridiculously entertaining.
