Amaranthine Bushra Satkhed is a Historical Fiction Romance Novel entwined with young love with a fresh approach on the topic, fitting with the times as we see a strong young woman step out the shadows and embrace her true strength. She is a young peasant girl who lives in the outskirts of the Kingdom of Elynasia. Amaranthine goes on an adventure that will see her whole life change in unexpected ways. This is a story of romance, strength, perseverance, self-discovery and awareness. You may judge the book by its cover and think it’s just another Romance novel but it’s not. We see growth, a strength in Amaranthine as she moves forward in her journey. You’ll find many care to judge about her social status, her title as a peasant girl, her looks, and so forth, but make no mistake she is not weak because she is young, nor is she passive in nature. She is in many ways independent but not to a fault. You’ll meet different characters along the way that either intend to harm Young Amaranthine, or help her, or ... well you really have to read to find out.
By the cover its easy to mistake it as just another airy, love entwined romance novel but I assure you it’s not. As they say never judge a book by its cover. Do not judge this book by its cover, do not skip in reading the description because you think it’s not going to be your “cup of tea" because I do believe who ever chooses to read this book will be pleasantly surprised. There is a twist I do not think some would see coming while reading Amaranthine by Bushra Satkhed. You will find yourself immersed with in the pages and wish it did not have to come to an end. How the story plays out will keep your attention and not wanting put the book down. It moves at a pace that is not to fast nor to slow, it falls right in that middle with just the right number of details.
This is not my first time reading a book by this author, Bushra Satkhed. I read her first book the Sender, and I knew we would see more exciting books to come. I am happy to say Amaranthine did not disappoint.
