How to Tame a Beast in Seven Days

This is my second time reading this book (I’m rereading the whole series because of the new book coming out last month) and I love it as much as I did the first time!!!!!!!!

To begin with, the world created by Kerrelyn is just wonderful and you can tell by reading this book that there is much more to come. We’re going to explore 5 different worlds for 5 different sisters and all of them are going to be awesomely built. Just the idea of The Embraced, is so simple overall but it’s built so carefully with the Sun and Moons religion/worshipping and the twins being cursed and the idea that the King hates the Embraced because they have power power he doesn’t. Yeah it’s just all so well done!

Now, to talk about the characters : Luciana is great, she’s fierce and intelligent and caring. I love the contrast made between her and Tatiana, who gets a good redeeming arc throughout the whole book. I was scared of the whole “having to take her sister’s place” plotpoint, because it tends to create a lot of drama within the relationship but it ended up not being a priority, compared to everything else happening. 

I loved Leo, he was really sweet and clever. His powers made him so interesting, I wish we’d gone further into them, but I understand a book can only be so long. And the pace of the book was really good so I really wouldn’t want to disrupt it. The whole starved for human contact thing was so interesting because usually it’s a female’s character plot point.

Love, I’m starting to reread the next book right away

    Plot and Story Line 
  
 
How To Tame A Beast in Seven Days is the first book of a new series by one of my favorite authors Kerrelyn Sparks. Now granted, this book was so unique different and not what I was expecting. She has kinda switched genres from vampires and shape shifters to a whole different realm of fantasy where dragons exist and being magically gifted is a death sentence by the king. And boy did I fall madly in love with this book very quickly. The first impression I had about this book was the bond that these girls have with each other. We have five women that were born in a unique time that made them Embraced and they are each gifted. Our heroine of the story Luciana (such a gorgeous name) has the ability to see certain moments in the future as well as see and interact with ghosts. She finds out her true heritage and so she returns home with her father planning on marrying a man she has never met. Now Luciana having been raised in a convent has no clue what to expect from a marriage with him. There aren't any men there and has never interacted with them. So she is pretty innocent at times but is intelligent and kind. I loved Luciana so very much. Now we have our hero. He is quite the character. He is pretty tough, not a man you want to cross but also has some close friendships and has some extreme power inside him. I love how protective he is yet he is starved for any physical touch. The world that Kerrelyn Sparks has created a world of ghosts, dragons, elves, shifters, and magic and I was drawn completely into it. Sparks has surprised me with this book and her plans for this series has me super super excited!!
