Vale Born is a well-crafted novel with fully developed characters including a strong female lead. The protagonist finds herself in a new and unknown world that she must navigate and where she must learn what she is truly capable of as well as who she can trust. Lorin is a creative writer who has thought through every detail of what this world is like, painting a vivid picture for the reader. Vale Born is not only imaginative and action-packed, it also includes some steamy sections as an added benefit! I look forward to the next entry in the series.

Oh what a treat! I really enjoyed this book. I was hooked right from the start. The author did an amazing job at building this world in a way that the reader could follow and envision. Makes me wish I was vale born, and would someday find myself landing in this world. The narrator for the audiobook version was so soothing to listen to, and her voice really reminded me of a popular actress which was fun.
It is simply one of the best books I have read and I will put [Lorin] right up there with Sarah J Maas. Once I got into the book I couldn't put it down, I had to keep reading. -D.P.
[Lorin] managed to have me reading with a huge smile on my face. I loved it. -L.Q.
I adored this series!-R.S.
