Book Review: Eubeltic Descent by Nadine C. Keels

Book Description:

Your soul will remember...
As a woman who wasn't born to wealth or privilege, Abigaia has mastered the art of thievery. And she's come to hate it. Not only is she plagued by guilt, but her shadowed upbringing and silent ways cause most of her town to question her sanity.

Yet, Abigaia's eccentric father always taught her to be proud of her heritage. Her ancestry lies across the sea, in a prominent realm she's read about but has never seen.

The man who desires Abigaia's hand in marriage doesn't share her hope of seeing the Eubeltic Realm. But disaster erupts in their path, and Abigaia's dream may have a greater purpose--if that famed domain of her ancestors is now in crucial need of her.

Review:

The story started out a little rough - so many commas - but after awhile I either got used to it or there were less of them. I was able to lose myself in the story, but then about 3/4 of the way through, I realized that there wasn't really a plot. This story reads more like a journal or a history about Abigaia. It wasn't until I finished the book that I realized there was another series before that would probably explain a lot of questions that I had. I also found out that Eubeltic Descent is the first book in a new series. I'm glad for that, but I do wish that there had been more of an actual story in this book. I feel like it took too long to get to the point of the story, and by the time it did, the book ended. I prefer series that can stand alone and don't leave you hanging.

That being said, I will probably read the first series, The Movement of the Crown, as well as any other books that come out in the Eubeltic Realm series. I hope that there is more character development in future stories and I look forward to getting to know Daun and Abigaia much better.
