[MPOV] Echoes of Enmity (The Alliance #0.5)

My rating: 4/5
Goodreads rating: 4.07/5
Published: October 19th, 2022
Author: Stefanie Chu
Genre: Fantasy, young adult
Friendships are lost. The trusted becomes traitor.
 
While on a quest to avenge her lost kin, Mirari learns her long lost friend, Gaven, is leading a band of rebels against the three empires. She refuses to believe that the man she knew, whose only goal in life had been to become a noble and honorable fighter, would debase himself so.
 
But all is not what it seems. Unstoppable forces, wielded by hands unknown, are at work, tampering with events to bring about only chaos and suspicion.
 
With this mysterious force closing its grip, the empires must decide…
 
Who is true. And who is traitor.  
 
A prequel novella of Knights of the Alliance, Echoes of Enmity follows Mirari’s journey toward reuniting and confronting Gaven.
Thanks to the author, Stefanie Chu, and Library Things for the opportunity to join in Mirari's adventure!

Firstly, I have not read Knights of the Alliance nor other novels by this author, so I am a happy camper reading this prequel. It's about Mirari who has lost a good friend and then found a long-lost friend who turned out to be a rebel instead. The complex situation here transcends to Knights of the Alliance. 

The overall story was plotted nicely with lots of action and definitely engaging. It was easy to read and even though there were many characters, it wasn't as confusing. The author sure knows how to build the plots with proper intro of the characters that I can imagine it all. Mirari did remind me of Mulan, or more of Ciri from The Witcher.

It has piqued my interest to know what happens in book 1 of The Alliance LOL! I do believe this would be good in movie form too, similar to the Grishaverse of Leigh Bardugo. I just love the creativity and fantasy of this new world! I understand that The Alliance series is a trilogy so if you enjoy such adventurous journey similarly to the above mentioned then you should give this a try.
