6/12/2023 0 Comments The unbroken by cl clark![]() Speaking of characters, I loved the dynamic between the two main leads. Characters make big, epic mistakes, and have to live with the consequences. One where the lines of good and bad are blurred. We’ve got a heady mixture of military-based fantasy set against colonialist conquerors, with a rebellion brewing in the streets of Qazāl. The Unbroken took me a little while to get into, but once I’d hit my stride I found myself devouring it in hundred-page chunks, immersed in the beautifully drawn, albeit harrowing, world Clark has created. Through assassinations and massacres, in bedrooms and war rooms, Touraine and Luca will haggle over the price of a nation. Someone who can sway the rebels toward peace, while Luca focuses on what really matters: getting her uncle off her throne. Luca needs a turncoat. Someone desperate enough to tiptoe the bayonet’s edge between treason and orders. But now, her company has been sent back to her homeland to stop a rebellion, and the ties of blood may be stronger than she thought. ![]() Touraine is a soldier. Stolen as a child and raised to kill and die for the empire, her only loyalty is to her fellow conscripts. ![]()
