Fateless

"Fateless" was the first book I read by Julie Kagawa and after reading this, I'll definitely be taking a look at her other books as well. The first volume of the trilogy focuses primarily on establishing the world, introducing the most important characters and the beginning of the adventure which tears the fmc Sparrow away from her familiar surroundings and forces her to fight not only for her life, but also against her fate and that of her companions. I really liked the idea of people's fates and how, depending on the region, people have different understanding of the concept of "fate", which leads to interesting, funny and also intense moments as the plot unfolds. The book is a YA-fantasy featuring adventure, fantastic character development, supporting characters who relly support the plot and an antagonist who isn't simply evil. Highly recommended, especially for readers who want more magic and adventure in a fantasy book and just am romantic subplot that develops organically alongside the main plot rather than being the primary focus.
