Romance in books is really hit or miss for me, I think it’s one of hardest things for writers to convey. I wanted them to be together, but more so I wanted them, as individuals, to succeed. Countless times I read stories with dual main characters, usually jumping back and forth between both points of view, and I end up caring only for one of them. Halla’s journey is the primary but I was equally invested in both, which is no easy feat. Both Halla and Sarkis are on a quest to gain back Halla’s rightful inheritance from the world’s worst in-laws, but each is also on a personal journey of growth and redemption. Sarkis is bound to the owner of the sword and helps Halla gain back her inheritance.Īs I was reading about the hero’s journey I was hoping to find some variants of the formula, and I think I found my objective in Swordheart. Halla is about to take a drastic measure when she draws an old sword and a man materializes before her. They end up locking Halla in her room until she agrees to marry her brother-in-law. When widow Halla comes into a major inheritance after the passing of her uncle-in-law, her other in-laws aren’t too thrilled about being skipped over. ![]()
