Vengeance: An Amagi Chronicles Novel by Beck GreyMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
📖Book Info
They say the Shabah doesn’t exist.
They’re wrong.
I know because I was one of them—an assassin trained to kill without question and vanish without a trace. Five years ago on a mission, the unthinkable happened. We were ambushed by one of our own, and when the man I loved bled out in my arms, I did the only thing I could to survive. I ran.
Now I’m back in Amagi with a plan. I’ll uncover who betrayed us, and every name on that list will pay. Slowly. Painfully.
But my plan never factored in a sharp-witted merchant with an easy smile.
The attraction between us is immediate and before I know it, Nico has slipped past my defenses. My heart wants to trust him. With my secrets. With my scars. With the parts of me I swore died with Kas. But he has ties to one of the city’s most powerful families, and he’s dangerously perceptive.
He’s a distraction I can’t afford. I need to finish what I started.
Vengeance is an LGBTQ+ fantasy romance featuring a morally gray assassin sworn to avenge the past, a charming merchant unaware of the secrets in his own, and the dangerous connection that binds them. This gritty, low relationship angst M/M romantasy includes parallel-world magic, revenge-fueled stakes, and a spice level of 4/5. It's a standalone introduction to the Amagi Chronicles universe.
💭Our Thoughts
This is one for those who enjoy a truly immersive fantasy read.
The author includes all the details you will need to maneuver this universe in the glossary at the beginning of the book, so you get the basics down before you start your quest with Zayd.
Don’t fret if you don't get it all at once; it all fits together easily as the story progresses.
As I stated previously, the world-building was fantastic!
The little details. The everyday life of the citizens. The nuances. The secrets.
It was as though I was there, hiding in the shadows, plotting my revenge.
Then there was the politics, the greed behind the betrayals.
The underhanded political maneuvers and the seedy backroom meetings
So much intrigue. Lots of twists and HOLY SHITTAKE! moments
I was captured from the moment we portaled in
The relationship between Zayd and Nico was high heat!
Nico believed in Zayd and his “mission” from the get-go.
It was insta-attraction, but they fit, and it worked.
I did feel the relationship was secondary to the overall plot.
Their chemistry was undeniable, but the author did not suffer the story for their relationship.
If that makes sense.
This is my first time with this author, but I will be adding her work to my one-click list
