Scar's Redemption

by Kiru Taye

Born to play second fiddle, Sefu knows he’ll never be good enough to be king. When the kingdom is threatened, he puts his life on the line to protect it and earns the moniker ‘Scar’. However, he is betrayed, and his heart hardens. He becomes fixated on claiming the throne, even if it means eliminating his ungrateful brother.

First, he has to go through the tempting siren, Pacca, who is determined to save him. The pretty wildcat doesn’t realise he’s a lost cause. But they’re going to have fun on this crazy ride to the top. There’s nothing left to lose.

A New World is here!

What a start to the Black Warriors series. Well worth the wait!

Scar and Pacca’s story is a wonderful introduction into a new world of super heroes. The blend of the present and ancient times provided a solid background for the characters and the storyline.

The characters are all unique and they all balanced each other. I cannot wait for each of them to get their individual stories and meet their soulmates.

My favorite character (apart from Scar) has to be Day; I love his easy, mischievous, carefree attitude and devotion to Pacca. His character gave a lovely balance to all the seriousness and nastiness surrounding Scar and Pacca; and added a fun element to the storyline.

Overall, a fab read and a strong beginning to the series. Thumbs up Kiru 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

This series has the potential to be one of the best ones out. I went between 3 and 4 stars. I went with 4 stars because the Male MC was amazing! perfect. everything you could ask for in a hero and the Female MC was decent too. I love a strong female lead.
I also could not put the book down I finished it in hours.

I wish the author spent a little more time on details. This is one of the few love stories set in Africa which i was really excited about. tell us about! give us some background on the culture, the buildings. These characters we supposed to be based on Africa deities. give us some history on that. He built a kingdom but i honestly couldn't tell you what the kingdom looked like outside the fact that it was a desert. I would have also loved more of an explanation of thier powers.

I'm excited that it's a series. I want more of these characters and this world. hopefully some of the details will be more ironed out in books to come. I'm sat! I can't wait for more.

3 stars

My first romantasy of the year and of course it’s from my new favourite author 😌

Star-crossed lovers + she has to spy on him

I really loved that this was inspired by African mythology, felt fresh

And the spice? A1 as usual. Kiru Taye does not miss.

I did get bored at the 70% mark but last 20 made up for it!

3.5 stars for me! I loved the intensity and love between Pacca and Scar and I enjoyed learning about their back story. I think the fantasy portion of this book isn’t fully fleshed out but overall I enjoyed reading.

This both was an excellent read. I consumed it so fast because I could not put it down. I’m so ready for more of this story.

Intense and Satisfying

Excitement from start to finish with magic of the gods and snap changes. Love the supporting characters and the formation of personalities.
