Pathfinder's Way: Volume 1 (The Broken Lands)

Product Information

After listening to Rules of Redemption, I rushed to get this book in the hopes it would have a similar entertainment value. The characters chastise and blame her for everything, and it gets real old real fast- mostly because she sits there and takes it, but even when she does speak up for herself she gets criticized even more. I mean...

Safe no ow/om drama; h is not virgin; H is not made out to be manwhore; uncertain as to whether he’s been with others during the months separated – a tiny thought from h leads me think he has In all these months, Shea had never heard even a whisper of him forcing someone to his bed. Oh there were plenty of women in it. Just, they were all there voluntarily. Even some Lowland girls. So the rumors went. After being betrayed by the villagers they trusted, she and the rest of her team are captured by Fallon's group of men, the Trateri. Buuut once again she's able to slip out of their grasp and omg watching her outsmart them all was just too good.😂🤣 When the people she serves betray her into servitude to the Trateri, a barbarian horde sweeping through the Lowlands intent on conquest, Shea relies on her wits and skill to escape, disguising herself as a boy to hide from the Warlord, a man as dangerous as he is compelling. As much as I was looking forward to him and Shae finally getting together, my love for Fallon was in jeopardy of falling with his treatment of her. I didn't like how he treated her when she denied him. I realize why he did it, and ultimately it was to push her in the right direction, it just seemed harsh.FOR EVERY CHOICE, A CONSEQUENCEYour decisions have more weight than ever before. Your goal is clear, but you must forge your own path to it. Who will die, and who will live? Who will stay, and who will go? Make your choices, and watch the world around you change.

She was a strong-ass woman and her strength came from her mind and experiences. strategic. logical. She flat-out called things how they were. The disrespect Shae has had to deal with from the very beginning was getting to be too much when it got to the point where Fallon came in. I think I was just over her bad treatment at that point, so that doesn't exactly fall all on Fallons shoulders. It turned my stomach. Why? Why?! Why does she suddenly stop thinking about the friends she spent almost a year on the road with, or the ones that were enslaved at the beginning? Why is she so blinded by this guy (who she spent all of like three hours with before succumbing to this ridiculousness)? Why isn't her love interest actually, oh, I don't know, LOVING? They’re all bad people: The Trateri partake in “plenty of looting and pillaging” but I’m supposed to like them because they don’t hurt women as much as most barbarians? Throughout the book, the Trateri shakedown communities for tribute, razing those who don’t pay up, and I’m supposed to like them because it’s survival of the fittest? And Sheya, undercover for months, joins them in wiping out Lowland communities? And when she’s ultimately discovered and living with them, she accepts that looting and pillaging is their way of life … but she just won’t help them go after her Highland people? The only redeeming quality about any character is that some of the barbarians are loyal to other barbarians.I enjoyed all the weirdness of the beasts and the sinister feeling about the Highlands. To me this was the best part of the book that really stood out from other fantasy adventures No, you don’t,” he said, shaking his head. “You make statements and then act all butt hurt when people don’t do what they’re told.” You are a constantly evolving puzzle. It drives me mad, and for someone like me, who can guess an opponent’s move before they even make it, that is more attractive than a fragile thing like appearance could ever be. You ask why you. How could it be any but you?” During the rescue, she ends up saving two strangers, both of whom are not from anywhere in the mountains and both of whom look like they kill people for a living. One of them, Fallon, is clearly interested in her. Unfortunately, he also happens to be the Warlord of a barbarian horde. He wants her, she wants to escape, and off we go. Throughout the story she gets little to no choice in her own life decisions. The only things she really gets to do for herself is escape Fallon- twice. The rest of the time...

Fallon is just as good of a reason to love this book. He's a warlord and head of his clan. He is also very smart and cunning. He's trying to find a better way for his and the other clans to co-exist. Not everyone wants that change and attempts on his life has proven that. What I really loved about Fallon was that he is pre Fallon, the warlord and love interest of our main girl, Shea, is a disgusting pig of a man and I cannot let unsuspecting readers continue on this journey without knowing what they are getting in to. To an extent, all of the male characters in this book are pigs. They amend their ways once they see Shea’s value, but that doesn’t change their initial treatment of her, and they NEVER apologize or admit they were wrong; they just pretend it never happened.I started this book thinking it will be a high fantasy novel, but instead I've read a post-apocalyptic one! Don't let that deter you. Even though the romance was very slow in this first book, there is much to keep your attention. Shae was a unique heroine and had me completely consumed in this book. I really enjoy strong, smart heroines and you get that with Shae. She's very cunning and that really had me riveted to this story. The world building was immaculate. Miss White did an excellent job of creating the beasts in the most authentic way. I could genuinely believe those creatures might be real somewhere out there. Makes sense. In nature, the female is likely to be the meaner one of the species, especially when it comes to the young,” Shea said.” But then surprise, surprise; slippery Shea outmaneuvers him and gets away. I was pretty happy about that.

The census collection is designed so that each group of postcodes should contain at least 100 people (50 in Scotland). But I wouldn't feel this way if the entire book hadn't been amazing enough to raise these questions and make me want more sooo

Unfortunately for Shea, her village arranged to have her sold to an invading army and that's how she ends in Fallons hands... After going on a rescue mission to save one of the leader's son from execution in a Lowland village, Shea also happens to save two other strangers also about to be executed. And what does she get in return? Well, one of those men, Fallon, decides that he all of a sudden owns her saying the exact words, "you're mine now." Hence trying to abduct her. If Fallon does not go through some major character development/become less a controlling freak, that is . . . I don't even know what to say.🤦‍♀️
