Will of Hope (Acryen Series Book 1)

by Yasmin Fazli

Elle Carlton hasn't seen light in nearly eight years...until now. When faced with the chance to find Kaleb, her missing love, there's nothing she won't do. Her determination knows no bounds except one: he's not on Earth. Elle will have to leave everything she knows, and embark on a perilous journey from our world to Acryen—a realm where nothing is as it seems and truths are lost in all the lies.

In a land where dragons once ruled, magic is the ultimate weapon and kingdoms are on the brink of war. Prophecies are coming to life, and creatures unlike any other are emerging from the shadows. Elle only desires one thing: to find Kaleb. But, what she doesn't know is Acryen has its own plan, and you cannot fight what's already been written.

Review by Gia:
Will of Hope is a good read. I have to say I was a little worried about it being too sci-fi and the length of it also worried me.   Once I got over my fears and just jumped in, I was hooked.   Fantasy books are always either a hit or miss with me and how much I like the story has to do with how well the author writes it. I'm happy to say Will of Hope was very well written.   I was transported to the world of Acryen while reading.

Elle lost her eyesight 8 years ago.   She ends up getting her eyesight back and she no longer on Earth but on Acryen.   I loved Elle. She is very trusting. She is thrown into life on Acryen. We learn about Acryen life and the different words they use as Elle does, which makes the story flow nicely.   She wants to find her best friend Kaleb and in the process she meets Peter.   Peter is great.   Elle and Peter have great chemistry.

The story is over 500 pages and the size of it scared me but there wasn't a point in the story that I got bored. Her path crosses with a lot of interesting characters.    The ending left me wanting me. I can't wait to red more of Elle's story.
