Review Post: A Girl Named Calamity by Danielle Lori






I was a simple farm girl living in the magical land, Alyria, where men ruled and women only existed.

Call me sheltered. Call me naive. I was probably both. I never expected to be the key to Alyria's destruction.

The journey I was on wasn't only one to save me. But one where I had a lot of learning to do. With men. With magic. And with myself.

But I wasn't alone. I had an escort. One I wasn't so sure about. But one I couldn't afford to lose and one I wasn't so sure I could even leave.

I had many hopes. But the most important one was that my name wouldn't become my fate.




Calamity's journey started so fast like a whirlwind that it threw me off when I first started the novel. The background story felt a bit short and there were not much details given to Calamity's mission.

I do like how the author describes the places in the book and how the cities have their own unique features and cultures.  

Calamity’s POV sometimes ends up too much, but it just might be her personality. A change of POV would have been nice. Weston, on the other hand, is cold, ruthless and mysterious. Like Calamity, you just can’t help but be drawn to him and find out what lies behind his mask.

The best thing of this story is the relationship of Calamity and Wes. I enjoyed their bickerings and surprising moments that makes you just curious on what’s going to happen next.
