#BookReview: Forged by Magic (Falling for Fables #1) by Jenna Wolfhart






Synopsis: A heartwarming, feel-good fantasy romance…with a helping of spice and only a pinch of danger.

Trapped in a tower by the emperor who conquered her homeland, Daella yearns for an escape. But as one of the few half-orcs left in the world, she knows she’ll never be free, much less find her own happily ever after.

Destiny takes an unexpected turn when the emperor offers her a deal. To earn her freedom, she must journey to the mysterious Isles of Fable and track down wielders of outlawed dragon magic. Eager to seize her chance, Daella agrees.

When a brutal storm tosses her ship off course, she washes up on the wrong island—right at the feet of Rivelin, a gruff but handsome elven blacksmith, who seems more likely to stab her than help her. To her surprise, he offers her shelter until the next ship passes through in six weeks’ time.

Daella soon realizes he’s hiding something big. It could be the very magic she’s been tasked to hunt down—the key to her long-awaited freedom. But as they bicker over the flames of his forge, her heart kindles with something she’s never felt before. 

When his secrets finally come to light, Daella must decide what’s more her freedom from the wicked crown or the desires of her heart.

Forged by Magic is a complete, stand-alone fantasy romance novel set in the whimsical world of Falling for Fables.

My Review: I was really excited for this one.  But now these cozy fantasy books have me scared that I am going to hate all of them.  (you can insert crying here). This one sadly was more telling vs. showing and truth be told I didn't like the writing and I was just so very bored with this one.  Sad to say I also have book two.  Which I will take a look at but I am not holding out hope.  











Review

"This book is like small town romance meets fantasy & its a combination I did not know I needed. Forged by Magic has a loveable half-orc FMC & a grumpy elf MMC who work together despite being *enemies*. Enemies to lovers, forced proximity, a hint of mystery & a sprinkle of spice, chefs kiss." -- booksbetterthanreality

"Wonderful cozy with adventure, mystery and a bit of spice! I loved every moment and could not put it down. Best read with your favorite beverage and a cozy blanket!" -- Goodreads Reviewer

"This was such a fun read! A cozy, charming little romatasy standalone. It's like Gamora meets Geralt." -- Bookish Heidi

"This was THE BEST, cozy romantacy stand-alone book. As a romantacy girlie who is always belly deep in series - Jenna's newest book was a breath of fresh air and a delightful fantasy palette cleanser." -- honeyy.fae
