My Review

I loved Nemesis! But I must admit, I was hesitant to read it for 2 reasons. 1. Joyride was okay but I wasn't in love. 2. I'm not a big fantasy lover.


Tag Line:


The princess didn't expect to fall in love--with her nemesis.


Opening Line:


If I were not such a coward, I would hurl myself from Nuna's back and plummet to the Underneath below.


Plot:


Princess Sepora was a badass! I always love reading Young Adult books with a badass female heroine. Katniss Everdeen. Feyre Archeron . . .

Desperate to escape the grasp of her father, Princess Sepora flees to her enemies' territory under the guise of a peasant. With an interesting turn of events, Sephora is captured and sold to the palace.

The palace in the land ruled by her enemy, the handsome, kind new king . . .

I could not put this book down!

The pacing of Nemesis was perfect with the unfolding of the storyline. The writing was intriguing and encompassing. The world-building was real and sucked me into the story. Into the Sepora's world. is a YA Fantasy filled with romance, adventure and intrigue.

Sepora was her own woman. She stood up for herself and for what she believed in.

Tarik was a man to be respected. A strong man easy to love.

And the back and forth, the banter between them was delectable.

All in all, I loved Nemesis and if there is a sequel or if Anna Banks will write more books like it, I happily welcome it. If YA fantasy is your forte then you need to jump on 
Nemesis.
