ARC Review: The King's Bow

This is an ARC review. Thank you to the author, Jamie Roe, for a copy of his book.

The story of The King's Bow follows Asher, a prince who is quickly made king when his father is murdered. Asher is forced to flee and his rescuer, Cara, seems to good to be true.

Asher spends a large majority of the story overcoming his insecurities, learning who he can trust and growing as a person and as a leader. The character development and growth of Asher throughout this story was very well written and it was enjoyable to watch the reluctant king step into his power and approach leadership in a thoughtful and humble manner. The side characters of Cara and Luce are also well written although I would have loved more of Asher and Luce (I suspect we will get more of these two in the subsequent books!).

The storyline has a few twists, a couple expected and couple unexpected. The pace of the story is quickly paced and starts off with suspense right away. The story moved quickly and this was a quick read for me.

This is a high fantasy book and the main characters are animals (rabbits, foxes, etc.). I will admit, I often just envisioned Asher as a human man with rabbit ears and a tail. Zero problems with the other characters and I could imagine what they looked like but Asher, he was human to me for most of the story. This didn't impact my appreciation for the story however.

This was a fun read and though it is high fantasy, I believe someone looking to get into fantasty would enjoy the story and be able to follow it.

5 🌮's! I really enjoyed this one and am looking forward to the rest of the series! It's a unique concept and idea and I appreciated a break from Fae romantasy novels!
