Broken Aro (The Broken Ones) [Kindle Edition]

I knew nothing about this book yet I was so wowed by it I read it in one sitting!
Jen Wylie had gifted me a copy in exchange for an honest review, yet I don't always expect to like the book as much as I did 'Broken Aro'!
Initially we are introduced to the Dragos, as he watches the two Fey with their baby on the beach, Damon speaks the prophecy, its importance to be released later, as is the name of the Fey baby, Kei.
Intertwining the stories we meet Arowyn ('Aro'), who is one of eight siblings - there is her and seven brothers - and they have to escape their home town, which is being invaded. They cut her hair and dress her as a boy in army issue to aid their escape but she has to fight with her brothers on the way out of town. She wakes on board of a slave ship and after befriending a Fey and a Prince her adventures begin.
This story is complete with amazing characters - first there is Aro, who has strength and heart and the reader cannot help but love her - then there is the Prince who takes care of Aro but keeps so many secrets that does he do enough to earn the trust of the reader? An then we have Kei, who is prepared to do anything to save Aro's life, although he can be dangerous when caught inside his Fury.
I loved Jen Wylie's style of writing and the way in which 'Broken Aro' had an underlying tension beneath the romance. I am so excited about reading more of the author's work and particularly more of this series!

WOW..Just wow. It's been so long since i loved a book that much! I have actually already ordered it printed, because i really want to re-read it and have it in my small library.Come to me book! COME!

The book is exactly what i like. Fantasy in another world, with all those amazing races (elves,dragons,etc). Mystery and adventure surrounds the world and it's concentrated on the relationships between the characters (family and friends) and the story itself. Jen Wylie is an author who doesn't hide the truth about the world (there is violence,deaths etc) without being too graphic. When something is to happen, it will happen no matter if it would make it better to have a happy ending.

A book that makes you not only love all the characters, but get to know them so well. Even though you follow only Aro's POV, you get to chance through scenes to understand and meet all the characters and feel for them. And of course our main characters are all so well structured and in depth. I thought i was there with them through the whole story.

And there are dragons too :p

One of the easiest 5 stars i've given this year.

"Broken Aro" by Jen Wylie is a powerful supernatural read.
15 year old Aro Mason, dressed as a boy in preparation for a dangerous journey, falls victims to slavers when her city falls during an enemy attack.
With the help of some friends, a Fey and Prince she escaped the slave ship but this does not mean that she and her friends are safe yet.
As introduced in a short prologue, humans are not the only species in this story, we encounter Fey, Elves and Dragos, which both eases and complicates the escape and the relationship between the group as they have to learnt to trust each other.
The story is fast paced and keeps you guessing, the unpredictability was one of the strengths of the book. Wylie makes us care for her characters while never losing sight of suspense and action.
I was very surprised how much I liked the story; as only an 'occasional visitor' to the fantasy / supernatural genre I often find their stories and characters repetitive, but in Broken Aro I never once thought that to be the case and instead I found myself quickly taken into the world Wylie has created, just like a good book should do.
