The Fidalian Chronicles #1
Summer's Revenge
Two kingdoms, two seasons,
And a feud as old as the realm itself.
Prince Isanfier and Princess Skiansy of Summer were four years old when their parents were murdered in their sleep. Twelve years have passed since, but the tragedy has not lost its sting, and Isan is determined to avenge them. He suspects the assassin hails from within the icy clutches of Winter, a kingdom that has always wanted to bring Summer to its knees.
When his uncle, King Arkenier, declares war, Isan sees it as the perfect opportunity to give Winter what it deserves, while his sister fears it will plunge the entire realm into chaos. Isan is willing to do whatever it takes to get revenge, but he is unprepared for the challenges he will face along the way.
His quest will test his strength — both mental and physical — as he braves the Edgewood, fights battles on snow covered fields, and learns of a curse that threatens to destroy everything he holds dear.
How far will Isan’s vengeance take him and will he even recognize himself in the mirror when it is all said and done?

Disclaimer: I have received this book for free in exchange for an honest review.
Rating: 4.5 stars.
I will begin by saying, without diving into spoilers, that I am fully prepared to hand out adoption papers to half the cast, while the other half can burn in hell. I mean this as the highest compliment, because what I expect when I pick up a book is for the story to provoke a reaction in me, and it did. I have seldom been so angry at a villain as I was with the villain throughout this entire book, and that anger deeply satisfied me as a reader.
The world of Fidalia has a rich worldbuilding that I enjoyed learning about. I was originally drawn to the book by the concept of kingdoms that represent the four seasons of the year and, though the religion is a little confusing during the first few chapters while you become familiar with the names of Fidal's daughters and their story (just as it happens with any other fantasy book), once I understood how everything worked Fidal joined my list of favorite fantasy worlds. I can't wait to explore the rest of it in the sequel/s, since the author has only given us a taste of Fidal and hinted at all that's left to explore, which is quite promising.
I also love when books make me come up with theories, because it increases my desire to get to the very end, and this book did not disappoint. I had my fair share of theories, some on which I was mistaken and some on which I wasn't. The moment when one particular theory was proven true was extremely satisfying! This is a spoiler free review, so you'll have to find out the plot twists for yourselves.
I will confess were moments in the book when I was a little (a lot) annoyed, because the main character gets treated like shit by his people. While reading some interactions I thought that there was no way that any real prince would EVER allow his subjects (well, future subjects) to treat him like that without consequences, and I found it so jarring... until, of course, something happened that made me realize it made complete sense within the context of this story for the prince to be treated like that, and I made my peace with it.
The only reason why this isn't a full 5 star review is because I think it could have used a liiiiittle more editing. There were some missing commas, and some of the dialogue felt a little bit artificial because, in my opinion, the characters recounted their actions to others in extreme detail. Aside from that, it was a great read and I can't wait to read the second one when it comes out.
P.S: there's a character death that I will never forgive the author for.

Thank you, Emma, for the advanced copy! I received an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review. So, here's that honest review!
Summer’s Revenge is full of interesting faerie kingdom lore and detailed world-building. If you're a fan of the magic/lore systems imagined and put in place by big authors like Sarah J Maas & Jennifer L Armentrout, this fantasy world may just be for you. The poignant emotion about family, loss, and revenge Emma weaves into her writing was also so well done. I was such a big fan of the dynamic sibling duo, Isan and Sky. It's rare you see siblings of any kind team up and it was refreshing to read about a different type of love that wasn't romantic.
The only two callouts I had about book one are the pacing & the villain. The beginning of this book started off a bit slow but does eventually pick up. I also felt like the villain was a bit underdeveloped and could have had more backstory & motive.
Overall, it’s a great series intro and I’m excited for what’s to come in the Fidalian Chronicles!

Absolutely stunning world building and brilliantly executed. Just a little slow to start off with but soon picks up after few chapters. I liked how the author introduced the characters.
I loved the twins Isanfier (Isan), Crown Prince of Summer and Skiansy, Princess of Summer. At the age of sixteen, they both have alot on their shoulders and in many places my heart goes out to them. I thought Princess Skiansy is a great strong female character. She knows exactly what she wants.
This is a beautifully written YA novel about family, siblings and revenge. I loved the writing style and the idea of pronunciation guide was brilliant. Is there a chance of something between Skiansy and Asmund? I can not wait to find out where the story is taking us next.

For the most part, I enjoyed this read! The world has a rich and interesting lore and magic structure, the characters are likeable and the plot was well coordinated and satisfying.
I always enjoy stories about siblings and fantasy prophecies, and it definitely ticked those boxes! Sky and Isan's bond is really sweet and I love seeing how they support and encourage each other to grow throughout the story.
The gore and violence was right on the edge of my comfort level, but it isn't given excessive page space or dwelt on unnecessarily. I did feel that some of the elements of the story resolved abruptly, especially towards the end, but the twists were mostly foreshadowed well and the climax was a good mix of resolution and incentive to read the sequel.
Overall if you're a fan of classic fantasy, seasons-based magic or realms, and enchanted, sentient forests full of dangerous creatures this book is for you!

“I believe all stories are born from seeds of truth.”
The first time I read Summer’s Revenge (The Fidalian Chronicles #1), I was amazed. It was a five-star read. It was my favourite book of Emma’s (until recently, more on that soon) and when I reread it in anticipation of Winter’s Wrath it only reminded me of why I loved it so much. I recently finished Winter’s Wrath, book 2 in The Fidalian Chronicles and it became my favourite, but it could not have been so without the first book that set it up so perfectly. I intend to post my reviews for both books together! So here’s my review on Summer’s Revenge!
Summer’s Revenge follows crown prince of Summer Isanfier (Isan) and his twin sister Princess Skiansy (Sky) as they attempt to take revenge on Winter for the deaths of their parents. Following a declaration of war on Winter by their uncle, King Arkenier, their plan is set: they will fight in the war and take their revenge. But do you really think it’ll be that easy? Isan, Sky and their begrudging ally, Asmund, must face the Edgewood, goblins, trusting strangers (a stranger that comes in the form of the mysterious Echo), and throw themselves into the battles of war before they can take their vengeance. But when they learn of a Curse that could change everything, one must ask what it will take to finally restore balance to the realm…
Firstly, the characters. Our protagonist, Isanfier, is brave, skilled and stubborn, with a desire for vengeance that burns inside of him like a thousand fires. Isan goes on such a journey in this book, from wanting to fight in the war to truly realising that war is not just all about vengeance and glory: it has real, permanent consequences. Isan feels everything with his entire being, whether it is love or rage, and to have a character who is so protective of those around him while also being passionate in everything he does and feels, especially a male, is so wonderful to see. He is definitely in my top 3 favourite characters of this book (though my ranking has changed with Winter’s Wrath).
Next, my favourite, Skiansy (Sky). Sky is such a wonderful character. She is Isan’s voice of reason and rock holding him to the earth. He would be absolutely nowhere without her. She is calm, collected and clever, and much more cool-headed than her hot-headed, impulsive brother, so they balance one another out perfectly. Sky is a bookworm, archer and a princess who wishes she could step outside her traditional role of acting like what constitutes as lady-like. She is frowned upon a lot for putting even a toe out of line, but she does not let that get her down and continues to be herself in every way she can!! I love her, she’s such an inspiring female character and I think a lot of people would think the same.
Asmund starts out as a total d***, I’m not going to lie. He is rude to Isan and Sky, constantly, and is constantly inconsiderate towards his siblings. He is definitely not the kind of person you want to find yourself left alone with. Unfortunately for Isan and Sky in Summer’s Revenge, they have no choice. Summer’s Revenge sees Isan, Sky and Asmund have to overcome their differences in order to survive, and honestly can I just say that Asmund went from a really awful guy to someone I could see redeeming himself? I don’t want to say too much as I have a whole lot to say about character development further on in this review and also I have WHOLE lot to say about Asmund in Winter’s Wrath, but I just love how his character progresses. He’s brave like Isan and also can be just as impulsive, but also strategic and collected in some places like Sky. Great character.
Lastly for the good guys: Echo. Echo is there for most of my favourite moments in this book!! She’s so generous and selfless, putting others before herself, even strangers, like Isan, Sky and Asmund are when she first meets them. Even though she has not been able to truly live a proper life due to the circumstances of her existence (read it and find out), she tries to make the best out of every bad situation thrown at her, and proceeds in life with grace and kindness. I love the way she welcomes Isan, Sky and Asmund with open arms and how she saves their necks on several occasions. Honestly THE definition of deserves better.
I of course have to take a moment to talk about this book’s incredible villains. Let’s start with Frost. So sadistic and chilling (pun intended) that he’s one of those characters you can’t tear your eyes away from the page from when he’s in the scene. He’s terrible, but so terrible that you love him because Emma has written him so well. As for Icaria, I love her. Like her father, she is cruel and bitter, but also extremely powerful. It is so refreshing whenever I get to read about a female villain like Icaria, someone strong and powerful with a mean streak that just shows us all that should that character ever rise to a position of authority then everyone is gonna be in trouble. As for Snowdon, I simply felt sorry for him. I’m not even sure I’d class him as a villain, really, just the product of living with people who are the villains. He could have been so much more, but the behaviour of his family destroyed his spirit. He only ever acted out of self-defence or to gain the favour of the father who looked upon him with such detest. There are other villains but I can’t talk about them because SPOILERS.
In terms of character development, let’s start with Isan and Sky. Isan truly is not a normal teenager anymore after the conclusion of Summer’s Revenge. He has seen the horrors of war and committed some of those atrocities himself. The weight of the curse bears down on him like hands determined to keep him down. The book finishes with him having experienced more than he ever thought he’d have to, and Sky faces similar issues. At Isan’s side throughout it all, Sky goes through a similar sort of development but also a development in terms of her confidence. She is a woman, a princess, fighting, and she does so with confidence and her head held high. She is under so much pressure to conform to the societal expectations of gender spheres and yet she risks her reputation and goes with Isan anyway. It is safe to say by the end of the book Sky has shown herself to be every bit as fierce the warrior as her male counterparts, maybe even more so. Isan and Sky’s development only increases in Winter’s Wrath, but Summer’s Revenge does a good job at giving us a taste of the path these twins will go down.
As for Asmund… What a personality glow-up. He completely turns over a new leaf, helping Isan and Sky in the Edgewood despite their past misgivings, even apologising to everyone after he makes a mistake that puts others in jeopardy. Would the past Asmund do that? I don’t think so. He dramatically improves as a person and by the end of the book becomes someone Isan in particular is forced to trust more than he already has and someone who could be a potentially incredible ally for Isan, but even by the end it is still quite clear how far they still have left to go to improve their relationship.
Summer’s Revenge is not only filled with amazing heroes, villains, their relationships and character development, but the book is also home to some expert world-building: its kingdoms, magic system, exploration of religion, the culture of each season’s kingdom, an importance to names and a beautiful map at the front of the book. It is filled with pretty much every element all of you fantasy-lovers shiver with delight at, and I admit I am one of those very same guilty parties. It also has action that kept me on the edge of my seat and some plot twists of all plot twists: a reveal and a discovery.
I have such an extensive list of favourite scenes in this book. Without spoilers and to name a few, let’s just say keep your eyes peeled for goblins, some certain tales weaved by a certain Wyllan, a long-awaited magic discovery, a certain dance, a throne room scene, the final battles and THE PLOT TWISTS. Plus many, many more. That’s all I’ll say, no, don’t ask me for more, I won’t tell you. Go read it.
With themes of revenge, grief, sibling relationships, forgiveness, war and betrayal, Summer’s Revenge is a read you do not want to miss out on!

I really did enjoy this once Sky and Isan left the kingdom because then more characters got introduced and relationships changed in a way I really liked.
The start felt a little slow since the main concern was just seeing how Isan was dealing with the grief over his parents death, but once his mind was on total vengeance, the story picked up pace. There were points not much action was happening in Isan's pov but that was made up for with the other pov. Who was a serious surprise and a pleasant one because getting that other perspective really sets up a certain person's anger that I'm expecting in the next book. Overall a really enjoyable plot because it's a 16 year old guys pov that has more morals than 90% of the other guys they interact with. I would have loved maybe one or two from Sky's pov though because she's like his rock and even though her concerns and anguish were voiced, I would have loved to see her view in things and how she was handling their adventure.
Sky and Isan's relationship was so wholesome and I live the sibling pair. It was them against the world but they kept each other in check and acknowledged when one needed to see reason or be talked to in a way that was productive to them both.
Echo was another welcomed surprise and I'm really excited to see how she plays into the next book. Along with Asmund, who changed his tune and was more likable than I thought he'd be.
Really enjoyed and can't wait for the next book!

I'm not one for YA fantasy much as I tend to prefer the more adult genres and topics but Summer's Revenge has made me reevaluate all of that and rekindle the love I once had for YA fantasy. I used to adore it as a teenager and young adult all those years ago and this book has reminded me just how magical and thrilling the genre can be when done right.
The narratives were beautifully done, the characters were so diverse and changeable, I never quite knew where to stand and who to trust. Emma's writing style is so evocative that each new scene, location, character description, setting description, action scene and recounting of Fidalian lore was almost too breathtakingly beautiful.
The plot was so well done and leads to a very thrilling and fast-paced conclusion that grips the reader and leaves them with enough unanswered questions and doubt as to how the story will continue in the next book.
Though there were some parts of the story which I anticipated well in advance, I feel that is only because I am an older reader I can anticipate these things sometimes. For a younger reader this would probably not have been the case and I wish I could have read this for the first time as a teenager. It would have changed my life.
I cannot wait to read the continuation of this series and am incredibly happy and proud to have been one of the first to read this story.

I cannot wait to read the continuation of this series and am incredibly happy and proud to have been one of the first to read this story.

This story had me utterly captivated from beginning to end!
Crown Prince Isan and his twin sister, Princess Sky, are determined to be a part of the war against the Winter Kingdom at any cost. They set out to avenge their parents death and have their sights set on killing the man who murdered their parents: the cruel and cold King of Winter, Frost.
When Isan and Sky find themselves stranded in a dark, magical woods, along with their enemy turned comrade Asmund, they soon discover that there is more intrigue and magic behind the war against the Winter Kingdom, and more details become unveiled behind the motive for their parents murder.
I was so happy to be able to read the first book of the Fidalian Chronicles! The characters were so distinct, relatable, and unique, but somehow they all fit together in the story so well. The descriptions of the different characteristics of the Summer Kingdom versus the Winter Kingdom and the magical Edgewood, was absolutely breathtaking. I felt like I was holding my breath in awe along with the other characters as they entered the Winter Palace (think Elsa’s ice castle but more sinister and ethereal).
I am so excited to continue the story of Isan and Sky in book 2, Winter’s Wrath, coming March 20th, 2024.
I received a complimentary copy of this book but I am leaving my thoughts and review happily and voluntarily.

Thank you to the author for giving me a free copy in exchange for an honest review!
Ok first of all, the world building in this book was so intricate and amazingly written. It always takes me a while to get into fantasy books but this one was a pretty easy and quick read for me.
My favorite detail about this book was the family dynamics and the sibling relationship between Isanfier and Skiansy. I always enjoy reading about characters who has been through so much already but still manage to survive and come out as a stronger person.
The storyline definitely captivated me, it was making me question almost everything that was happening. I enjoyed creating theories about the story and what was going to happen and it was so satisfying to read about the revelations and the ending. I loved how the book ended with more questions and a sneak peek to the sequel. Also, the revenge aspect of the story was pretty interesting to read about. It definitely keeps me hooked to the story!

The way this book absolutely took a hold of my everything!! Woow, just woow incredible, the world building is amazing without being overwhelming. I felt like I was immersed into the world with Isan and Sky, like a friend walking alongside with them. The writing is incredible, the author does such a fantastic job with the story 💚
I loved that it was action packed with lots of important moments necessary for building the story since it’s the first book. It was refreshing to read a story through a young adult male which isn’t my usual but i really liked it. Isan and Sky’s relationship as siblings is heartwarming and made the whole book so amazing.
The main battle was sooo good and it reminded me of something a la Game of Thrones! That plot twist!! Ahhh 😯
I honestly can’t wait to read the next book!

BOOK REVIEW: ⭐️⭐️⭐️💫
Summer’s Revenge by Emma K. C. Couette
This is a YA adventure full of sibling banter and amazing world building!
I wasn’t sure what to expect in reading Summer’s Revenge, but I was pleasantly surprised by how easy the world building was to follow and that without the romantic type of love, the sibling bond between the twins, Isan and Skye, made me think of my own brother and our relationship. It was refreshing, but I did miss some kind of romance.
Family, revenge, sibling love, and a journey that shows the twins just as much about their past as where they are going.
I’m curious to see what happens next!

Summer’s Revenge was a different sort of fantasy. Personally, I am obsessed with fantasy romances, but there was something appealing about the sibling love that the main relationship in this book.
I think the book would do well for a wide age range, from high middle grade to upper YA.
Our main characters are twin prince and princess whose parents were murdered and are looking for revenge. They learn the rival kingdom was responsible, and go to the war to be the ones to kill their king.
There was a lot of well written character development and overall the story was a smooth read!

3.5 stars
Summers Revenge by Emma Couette is the first book in the Fidalian Chronicles. It follows Prince Isanfier and Princess Skyansy as they seek revenge for the death of their parents. I love the idea of opposing kingdoms based on the seasons, Summer and Winter and I think both kingdoms are described in such detail that you can picture exactly where the story is taking place. I also really enjoyed the relationship between Isan and Sky. It’s not often you see such a dynamic sibling duo in YA fantasy and I am all here for it! I also just really love Sky’s character! She is so strong and she fights for what she wants! Overall, Summers Revenge is a great fantasy read and I look forward to seeing how the story continues!

What a stunning book.
This book will slowly creep up in your mind and you won't be able to stop even if you want to. I loved the chapters from the point of view of Isan's. The concept of summer, winter, autumn basically kingdom based on season was so intriguing. The characters are so well written. Asmund and Ian sometimes sound like an old married couple. Sky.. She's everything one could hope for. She's sassy, witty and knows how to shut someone up. Sometimes it got boring but as soon as it did there was another plot twist and I was again on the edge of my seat.
I'd definitely recommend it and trust me you'll be in for a treat

I love this book. I will definitely be putting it on my shelf for a reread. I love how Emma Couette introduced each of the characters. Especially the twins of Summer. Fidalia, the worldbuilding sounds amazing! It made me feel like I was really there. And that ending….. read it! You will not regret adding this thrilling YA fantasy to your bookshelf.

It started out a bit too slow for my liking but once the storyline picked up I couldn't put it down. It’s full of action, mystery, suspense and adventure with terrific characters. I adored Isan and Sky’s bond. And I’m team skiansy all the way. I’m a sucker for character development so of course I love Asmund.
I absolutely love this book and I’m gonna look up all of Emma’s other works because I’m obsessed 🫶

I was gifted an ARC for an honest review.
This was such a fun, adventurous YA novel. If I was still teaching 6th grade, I would be buying it and putting it into my classroom library. I’m contacting my past librarians to add it to their libraries though.
Our main characters are twin prince and princess whose parents were murdered and are looking for revenge. They learn the rival kingdom was responsible, and go to the war to be the ones to kill their king.
I loved the character development and the honesty behind the war scenes. This was very well written and I can’t wait to read the future books in the series!

I really enjoyed reading this book! There is revenge, action, some twists and turns, and a great sibling relationship/dynamic. Be warned: There is a cliffhanger!
Definitely impatiently waiting for the next book to be released so I can find out what happens next!

Summer's Revenge is a tale of siblings and vengeance, one that begins to build a world rich with lore.
The start was a little slow, however, a quarter of the way through it really picked up! I kept wanting to know more about the world and who to exactly trust.

I do wish there was more lore to lap up! Emma Couette has made such a rich tapestry and I hope that in the next books we learn more about Autumn and Spring.
I also hope that with King Frost now gone, that we get a POV from Icaria. Her character intrigued me greatly, and her having to rise to the challenge of a practically fallen kingdom would be amazing to read in her character. Also, I need to know if the Summer twin's go visit Echo!
I am also wondering if a romance may blossom between Sky and Asmund, I would not mind if it did.
The only big fault I had with Summer's Revenge was the almost cartoonish villain King Frost. I wish we got to know more about him. Why he was so cruel and cold? Perhaps Emma Couette plans to expand on this in the series, but I do wish we got to know more of the King!

Summer's revenge is a YA fantasy novel filled with elemental magic and heart-stealing characters.
Being told in a dual perspective, we as readers had a clear view of what was going on with both the heroes and villains of this story at all times.
With mind boggling twists, mystery, and riveting sub plots Summer's revenge is a must read for every fantasy lover. The lore of the Edgewood forest was my fav part of the world building.
Princess Skiansy and Echo were some of my favorite characters. Can't wait to see more of them in Winter's wrath.

Hello I'm writing this review out of my grand courtesy and honestly. I received a free copy of this book to write an honest review for this author who has worked hard to make this book a reality. When I read it I didn't know what to expect but then I realized it went beyond of what I thought it my end up being like. I didn't expect to enjoy this nature and season changing story which includes excitement and satisfaction to enjoy a book which talks about family and how one should never give up on their believes and should always fight for what they want. I give this a big plus. Thank you Emma for letting me get the opportunity to be introduced to these wonderful characters. I can't wait for what else you have planned up your sleeve next. Everyone if you want a new book read this you should definitely pick this book up. Enjoy!

In Summer’s Revenge by Couette, twin royals Isan and Sky are drawn into a conflict between their kingdom Summer and the kingdom of Winter which was responsible for the murder of the twins’ parents. As both are finally on the path to war, they are forced to grapple with horrors from their own past.
I’ve read a lot of fantasy and there are very few novels that focus on the relationship between siblings. They both carry their grief differently, where Isan is hell bent on a vengeful murder, Sky shows her love through heartfelt gestures.
The ending wrapped up so nicely and the cliffhanger was beautifully executed.
This is a great book for people who enjoyed Ember in the Ashes and Caraval. All three of these books do an excellent job of combining fantasy with sibling relationships.

Emma K.C. Couette did an amazing job writing Summer’s Revenge. I’m a sucker for epic fantasy and I always expect great world building within the genre. Emma freaking brought it. I was not disappointed in the slightest. I truly felt like I was there in the book, watching everything play out.
I loved how this YA fantasy was about boy/girl twins,I usually just see girl/girl twins in the books I’ve read, and not focused on a romantic relationship. I absolutely loved Sky, I felt she was strong and sassy! I truly enjoyed multiple characters and absolutely loathed others.
Now on to the kingdoms. It was such an awesome concept to have the different kingdoms based on the seasons. I don’t think I have ever read a book or series with kingdoms based off the seasons. I found it to be unique and refreshing.
I am looking forward to reading more in this series as well as other books by this author! I would recommend Summer’s Revenge to anyone who enjoys YA epic fantasy. I am getting my oldest girl her own paperback copy to read and share with friends!

The cover is so beautiful and I was easily drawn in by the story. I appreciated that each chapter header has ornate filagri and Couette has also provided a pronunciation guide. I feel these little added touches further enhanced my reading experience.
Story wise, our characters are faced with grief and the realization of what really happened to their family further heightened their need to avenge those they lost. This novel is perfect for new readers of epic fantasy, as the political intrigue was easy to follow and the characters’ motives were easily discernible. I absolutely adore Aunt Mag, I feel as if Isan and Sky could always trust her as their motherly figure. Overall, the story, the characters and the world building were favorable and enjoyable.
In fact, I’m looking forward to reading more by Emma as I already have her short story queued up!

Summer's Revenge follows twin royals Isan and Sky, who are flung into a conflict between their kingdom Summer and the kingdom of Winter, which was responsible for the murder of the twins' parents.
As you can probably imagine, they have to deal with a lot of hurt and harrowing truths about their past along their journey!! Do you know what I loved the most about this one? The massive focus on the love between siblings, with the MCs being twins. They each have different and unique personalities and therefore reacted to their past, and present, in different ways. This was so interesting to read!
This first book certainly kicked off the series with intrigue, fabulous world building and plenty of action. I'm excited to see how the series continues in the future!

I absolutely loved so much about this book! The details! The story build! The characters. Everything about it is amazing. I just wish that it was a little more fast paced but that's honestly the only thing that I would change. But I have a short attention span.
The twins were my favorite honestly. I can't wait to find out what's in store for the next book, I just know it's going to be amazing. I'm hoping for it to be close to the same as this book. With revenge, and amazing storyline between the characters. And great relationships. But I know whatever the author decides to do, I will love.

This is a fun read with a really enjoyable sibling dynamic that I don't find a lot of in fantasy books. The world building is interesting, and while the entire kingdom isn't explored in this book, this is the first in a series so I assume the later books will get us to explore even more of this world! There was one small segment of lore dumping, but otherwise everything felt woven together really naturally. I look forward to reading the rest of this series!
