| The Kingmaker Chronicles Book 1 |
KINGDOMS WILL RISE AND FALL FOR HER...
BUT NOT IF SHE CAN HELP IT
Catalia "Cat" Fisa lives disguised as a soothsayer in a traveling circus. She is perfectly content avoiding the danger and destiny the Gods-and her homicidal mother-have saddled her with. That is, until Griffin, an ambitious warlord from the magic-deprived south, fixes her with his steely gaze and upsets her illusion of safety forever.
Griffin knows Cat is the Kingmaker, the woman who divines the truth through lies. He wants her as a powerful weapon for his newly conquered realm-until he realizes he wants her for much more than her magic. Cat fights him at every turn, but Griffin's fairness, loyalty, and smoldering advances make him increasingly hard to resist and leave her wondering if life really does have to be short, and lived alone.

My Review: 5/5 Stars
I was super surprised by how much I ended up really liking this book! I mean it already had an advantage of being fantasy, romance, kick ass heroine, lots of magic, and being based off Greek mythology (which is my kryptonite of story telling). But Cat's story and mysterious past and abilities kicked the story up to a new level. Not to mention the world that Amanda Bouchet created to go along with it. I was immediately captured in her story and the myths. I wanted to understand the world she created. Her characters were also fantastic. Our lead heroine Cat is hilarious. Her strong personality and endless sarcasm challenges Griffin in the best way. Their interactions and chemistry are fantastic. Not to mention their slow burning romance. This was only the beginning of what I think will be a very good series and I am eager to find out where the story goes.
