There’s nothing shocking that takes place here, but watching the story play out is well-worth the few hours it takes to read. The plot itself did follow the general structure of a romance book, but White did a great job introducing subplots, and quietly subverted expectations as the book went on. His relationships felt so alive, and I couldn’t help but cheer him on throughout the twists and turns of the book. Expecting only a standard romance, I was pleased to discover some true development from each major character, especially the male lead, Bram Sinclair.

Sometimes, a book surprises you – and I’m happy to report that Worthy of Legend surprised me in the best way possible.
