**ARC REVIEW**
What an amazing book! I was hooked from start to finish and I think it's it's fantastic story with excellent characters.
The story opens with the death of a king and the subsequent rumblings of conflict. Ludica is a king that basically just wants to live in peace, but ends up drawn into the middle of everything along with his children.
It is multiple POV, following a few different characters. It's told from the perspective of the battle worn king, the reckless but well-meaning son, the dutifully daughter with a rebellious heart, the ageing and honorable queen, and the bitter brother whose greed drives his motivation.
Transitioning between characters like this can make or break a book for me honestly, but I think that Min handled it very well! The transition between each of the chapters was seamless and actually kept me hooked. I didn't feel any instances of info-dumping. The author did an excellent job of conveying the information naturally through the scene or through the dialog. And the world was explored along with the plot.
The early scenes were used to expertly introduce the incredible characters; and I was often left in shock as certain events unfolded. Throughout the story, it's easy to understand their motivations, feel their pain and struggle, and find a reason to route for (or hate) them.
The plot itself has a lot going on. As the characters maneuver throughout the rich world and as we encounter new characters, more plot points unfold. This story is heavily focused around political scheming and backstabbing. However, as the story unfolds, more elements are thrown in including gods and mythical creatures which raise the stakes even more! Honestly, I felt there was a bit of everything and I couldn't get enough it.
But the women in this story, oh my gosh! They were my absolute favorite part of this book. They were each so strong and held themselves well in a world ruled by men. They didn't need to use weapons to fight their battles, and it was amazing how they were painted on the page.
I am knocking off only one star because I would've liked to have learned more about the world and backstory a little bit. But given that this is just the first book in a series, I expect that we'll learn a lot more as the story progresses. For a debut novel I really think this is fantastic, and I honestly cannot wait to see how this story continues!

This high fantasy novel transports the reader into a new world; one with love, heart-break and friendship. Although I did have to jot down a few notes about the names of places and the people who ruled over those places, there is a map that is extremely helpful. Beyond that I thoroughly enjoyed this book, the characters really helped bring the book to life. Each character was pivotal to the story, and relatable in some way. Estrith is the faithful little sister, Beowyn is the misunderstood/rebellious older brother and Ludica is the King no one expected. Although in the beginning I can admit I hated Ludica, the way he treated his daughter did not sit well with me, however as the story evolved I could understand the love he had for his children more and the difficult choices he had to make. Throughout the journey I fell in and out of love with several characters. Qereth, started out as a pone but overtime I grew to love him and the love he clearly feels for Estrith. I hoped that Beowyn and Tanica would get their happily ever after, but I also didn't understand how Beowyn could be so reckless. Gwenora is someone I achieve to be someday. She is an amazing representation of a mothers love. Richessa is the only character I hated start to finish. Personally I think she got what was coming to her. All of the overlapping kingdoms, treaties and wars really made the world come together. You could visual what was happening and how everything would evolve. I love how many characters overlapped once you heard their stories, like a quilted blanket coming together. One the best parts is that the war scenes didn't drag on, they were short and sweet. This book is an amazing novel, I loved all of it. The good the bad and the ugly of the book. I really hope we get to see what happens after the war in a coming book, I need to know what happens especially with Estrith.

I received an ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review.
Dawn of Avarice is a story told from a third person perspective of a handful of different characters throughout the Domain of Aecorath. The story primarily revolves around King Ludica, his three children, and brother, Sidonis. There is political intrigue, betrayal, distrust, and a *smidge* of a romantic storyline (and I mean the smidge-iest of smidges). Throughout the entire book, I found myself always wanting more. I didn't feel that I could connect to the characters or that I really got to know them. Because of this, the most significant scenes were not as impactful as they could have been. I really wanted to like this book a lot more than I did, as the story has so much potential, but it fell short in a handful of aspects. I'm hoping that in the next book in the series the characters will have more backstory to help the reader form a connection with them, as well as some plot lines being picked up that seem to have been left waving in the wind and/or forgotten about.
Overall, the book was okay, but I don't think that it lives up to the potential that it has.

The first thing I love about this book, is that it starts with a map of the world. This book is told through multiple point of views and was done in a way that enhanced the story. The story could use a bit more world building which I hope we will see in the next book. The book was a great read that had an interesting plot and many great characters.

I received an ARC for an honest review.
This isn't the type of book that I normally read, but I will say that I was very pleasantly surprised by it.
Dawn of Avarice carries a large cast and is told from a few different POVs. It centers on Ludica, the King of Faermire and two of his kids, Beowyn and Estrith. With the primary antagonist being Ludica's brother, Sidonis.
This book contains a lot of drama! As well as political intrigue, betrayal, deceit, and a hint of romance. But for the length of the book it was really packed out and there was a lot going on. There seemed to be some different plot points going on, but they all managed to weave together quite nicely at the end.
The characters are complex and well rounded.
Ludica surprised me. He came off as cold and somewhat distant at the beginning, but by the end of the book, I absolutely loved him.
Beowyn plays into the conflicted prince trope (battling between love and family), but I thought it was well done. He probably saw the most growth throughout the story. I can appreciate when protagonists aren't just perfect and good at everything right right off the bat. He really grew into his role which was nice to see.
Estrith was really easy to root for. I loved her strength and rebellious nature. For the hand she was dealt, I think she was awesome.
And as for Sidonis, he played a good antagonist. It was interesting to see his journey and how he was compared to those around him.
The others in the cast were well written and personally, I think Gwenora was my favorite side character. It was great to see an elderly queen depicted this way. She was incredibly strong and wise, and an amazing leader!
Being the first book in a series, it definitely seems like it's setting up for a lot to come in the next book. **SPOILER** The book ended well. And by well, I mean it tied up most of the loose ends or at least touched on them. It wasn't one of those where it just ends on a cliffhanger and you turn the page wondering if some pages were missing. The whole thing with Tanica and her father, Elwin of Valenmur, seems to me, as being set up to be a major conflict for everyone in the next book which is why, I'm assuming, they were included in this book.
Overall, I think it was very well done for a debut novel and I'm very excited to see where the story goes!

Dawn of Avarice by Tabitha Min is a medieval fantasy book centering on the drama around one of the major royal families in the world of Aecorath. All of the right pieces of the puzzle are here: love, lust, betrayal, coming of age, action, amidst many more. This is this author’s first book in what is planned to be a series, and overall, I am excited to see what comes next!
Min sets the stage with a family that’s very relatable, very human. Each character she introduces has both good and bad qualities, and manages to grow throughout the story. This is something that is seldom seen with first books, especially those self-published on Amazon like this. Min’s characters felt real, and I felt invested in their outcomes more and more as the story progressed. The action sequences are something I also really enjoyed by this author. I’ve read a lot of fantasy and will admit that many times the action feels dull and overplayed, but Min was able to do something really special here. Her descriptions of the thoughts and feelings of the characters really put me in that moment with them, rather than it reading as more of an impersonal birds-eye view. Some of Min’s descriptions and the relationships she weaves between these characters are SO profound that I teared up in some of the more emotional scenes, which I haven’t done since the early 2000s when Sirius Black died (if you know, you know). She really has a way of hitting you where it hurts, which I think is a special talent to be cherished in writers.
As I mentioned above, this is the first book coming from this author and it’s self-published, which does mean that it’s not going to be perfect. Some of the wording is clunky and definitely could’ve used another pass from the editing team (especially at the beginning). Unfortunately what this does is take you out of the story, but push on dear readers, because it is WORTH IT. I also think Min could stand to add in some more of the “fantastical” elements we see with a lot of the champion world builders we have today (i.e. Brandon Sanderson, etc.).
Overall, I think this is a good first book that just needs a bit more polish on it. For this reader, character development is always king and for that I think this author did an excellent job. I will excitedly look forward to any future projects from Ms. Tabitha Min.

⚔️ When royal twins uncover their uncle’s plot to overthrow their father’s reign, they are forced to reconcile the loss of their final vestiges of youth with their responsibilities to their kingdom.
Beowyn is the irresponsible heir to the throne, more interested in choosing his own path than obeying the king or the duties of his title. His sister Estrith is the responsible, cunning twin who sees and hears all in the kingdom but is ignored because of her gender. Estrith and Beowyn each independently discover unsettling evidence that their uncle is trying to overthrow their father, King of Faermire. As the truth is revealed and war looms on the horizon the twins must rise to the challenges presented to them for the sake of their Kingdom.
This was an interesting, engaging, and bittersweet coming of age story contained within a medieval fantasy. Estrith’s struggle to be seen and heard in a male centric environment was especially relatable. Each twin was forced to make difficult decisions, face loss, and rise above the expectations of others.
While I enjoyed the book as a whole, I found it difficult to get into at the beginning. The world building was slow paced, overly verbose, and at times simply confusing. The number of characters and locations introduced was astounding, they all had strange names, and at some point they began to run together. The excessive amount of grammatical errors in this book was frustrating and I continually had to review passages to decipher what the text intended to say. However, the book picked up steam towards the end and the final battle sequences were well planned and exciting. Bottom line, a solid, interesting plot that’s a bit too slow paced initially but makes up for it in the end. ⭐️⭐️⭐️💫 (3.5 rounded up to 4/5)

This book is excellent! Starting off with a very vivid and dark scene involving the death of a king, it sets the stage for the rest of the story at a fantastic pace. Dawn of Avarice was incredibly captivating, having everything you could want in a fantasy like this. There is a lot of political scheming in which several characters are all vying for positions of power, backstabbing, and getting involved in some dark dealings with the gods.
It all culminates into one final battle that was as desperate as it was destructive and hopeless at times. Battle scenes are usually not my favorite as they can tend to get overly drawn out and boring, but the way that it was written in this story, I was amazed at how captivating it was.
The strongest aspect of Dawn of Avarice though, is the fantastic cast of characters! Min has managed to create such an impressive array of characters, each of them as complex as the next. And the villains are believable and very well done. I was invested in all of them as I was by what was going on.
Min has created a fantastic world of realistic characters and the style in which it's written adds well to the ambience. It's an incredible story with a lot of promise, and I'm looking forward to what comes next! Dawn of Avarice certainly is a book worth reading. Would absolutely recommend.

I received this ARC in exchange for my honest review.
I typically do not read books like this at all. I mostly read romance so this was a first for me being a more fantasy genre than romance. It took me a while to get into the Dawn of Avarice but once I did it was good. Dawn of Avarice is told in third person from multiple point of views (Mostly the king, son, and daughter). I did find it difficult at times to figure out which character's POV I was reading in. I think it would help if it was stated at the beginning on the chapters or breaks but then again, it could just be where I am used to dual POVs.
I enjoyed the story line that had political interests, deception, and disloyalty. So yes, there is a lot of drama going on at times. There was very little romance but it did make an appearance. I kept wanting a bit more at times from the characters backstories and the world in which the story takes place. At the beginning, the story had a lot going on at times. The plot moved well throughout the story with multiple plots that intertwined as the book progressed. Some of the plot lines were left unresolved by the end. Overall, I was left with wanting more but the book was okay. I am interested to see how the second book moves the story forward.

Dawn of Avarice is the first book from Tabitha Min, and I really had a great time getting lost in the world that she has created.
Some of the scenes in the book have continued to stick with me well after finishing the book because they were so unique, exciting, and described so well. Without getting into details the scene in the woods where a character is desperately seeking help for a sick loved one really stuck with me and I think it is a standout set piece.
This book blended aspects of relationships, fantasy, action, and even some hints of horror that I think were really well balanced and they flowed nicely.
The characters and emotions felt realistic and largely I feel that the dialogue worked well. Some of the prose especially early on was a little over-adjectived, and there were some minor wording issues that occasionally slowed me down, but these quickly went away and the book flowed nicely after that point.
I really like how this was a book that had fantasy elements, but it wasn't the main focus, and I love how the author was able to create an engaging story without relying heavily on fantastical elements.

But in revealing the truth, they must come to terms with the unintended consequences.Will they be able to survive and protect what they love most?
This is the first book written by Tabitha, and it's definitely a good one. I enjoyed getting to know the world she has created. Some parts are unique, exciting, and described so well. Blended aspects of relationships, fantasy, action, and even some hints of horror that I think were really well balanced and they flowed nicely. I really this book focused more on fantasy aspect of it.
And though Gwenora, the widowed queen, offers him a treaty after her late husband's death, they both find that such an alliance could ignite a rebellion within their own ranks.
Meanwhile, Ludica's eldest children, Beowyn and Estrith, uncover evidence of their uncle and stepmother's involvement in a plot to usurp their father's throne.
Despite lots of weird sentence structure, odd comma placement, and the overload of exposition breaking up scenes, Ms. Min created an incredible, vast fantasy realm. The author brings it all together in a striking manner that challenges the imagination.

Lovers of George RR Martin will be pleasantly surprised that not all their favorite characters die in this beautifully-written fantasy romance, “Dawn of Avarice” by Tabitha Min. Min does an excellent job of creating this Medieval-style world full of drama and betrayal, hope and disappointment as we follow the royal family of Faermire through all their horrible life choices.
I only wish… there was more of a balance of dialogue “telling” the story.

This was an excellent story. The characters are realistic and the drama really carries the story. There was a lot going on, but it really helped the plot move and I found myself reading most of the book in a short time. A real page turner and it really seems like there will be a lot more to come in the second book. A definite must read.

Such a good introduction to this series! I'm anxiously awaiting the next book. The characters have all been well thought through and were all very relatable, and the plot has been beautifully set for what's to come. Gives of Game of Thrones Lite vibes, so if you're down for some death and devastation, this is definitely for you. And I'm still team Estrith and Qereth, so that better happen! lol

Author ✍🏼 @authortabithamin
eARC : thank you to @orderofthebookish
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫
All in all: an easy but addictive read! The characters are fairly well fleshed out and the story line is easy to follow along with (sometimes fantasy can be confusing 🤪). The author does a great job of using her prose to move the reader emotionally no matter the scene. I loved that it was not too predictable and I kept rooting for the characters to “win”. If you like Game of Thrones type books, epic battles, and the royalty trope: this book is for you! Looking forward to the next installments!

All in all: an easy but addictive read! The characters are fairly well fleshed out and the story line is easy to follow along with (sometimes fantasy can be confusing 🤪).

*Book Review*
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I was given an e-copy of Dawn of Avarice by @orderofthebookish in exchange for my honest review.
If you enjoy a story that involves betrayal, distrust, political intrigue, and a hint of romance than this book is for you.
It follows King Ludica, his 3 children and his brother Sidonis. All king Ludica wants is peace. But there are forces in play that will not allow it.
I loved that this book opened with a map of the world! It gives you an idea of the places where the characters will travel too.
On a different note I felt that it could have had more character building. I feel like there is a lot of potential for this book.
I did enjoy reading more than I thought I would, the book starts to really pick up towards the middle and end of it.
I can’t wait to see the character developments in the next book!
