Constance Burris did a very good job at making me care deeply for both the main characters. What I would like have seen is a little more on visually defining her characters. This would have helped with associating a character’s name to the character. I really liked how she brought out the true nature one character. It was subtle and yet in plain sight. A great job and well written. This story provided me a very pleasant break from my own writings, giving me a different perspective from another author's view.
2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Great story, cannot wait for the sequel! By Amazon Customer First of all, I want to say that I did not like how Coal was everyone's punching bag in this story. He lost almost every fight he got into and was hopelessly, hilariously outclassed (to rip off a quote from the Avengers movie). What's worse is he was led into thinking he had a chance. I felt for this guy, honestly. But in the end he won his last fight via trickery and guile, so maybe there's hope for him as a warrior. I'm just used to books where the protagonist at least shows some relative competence compared to the opponents around him/her. I hope that Coal kicks some fairy's butt for real in the next book because that was kind of embarrassing to read. Coal didn't even have magic abilities; although the human girl in the story did. he really was on the bottom of every possible totem pole except when it came to character and determination, where he reigned supreme.But if you're going to make a character a punching bag then justify it, do it well and make the reader feel for them and sympathize for them, and Constance Burns does all of that flawlessly. I don't regularly sit down and read a book from start to finish in one fell swoop but Coal's journey from Chalcedony's childhood friend to a refugee and Chalcedony's change from his childhood friend to a crazy despot-to-be had me riveted. In a way it reminded me of Octavia Butler's Kindred novel, the way the child Rufus changed from Alice's friend to a rabid crazy dog of a man. Chalcedony was kind of a Rufus-lite, to give you an idea of how badly she turned out: like Alice, Coal had no agency and, as he discovers while trying to rescue another human that Chalcedony kidnapped, he was a captive of hers. And Burns does a great job of making a good man out of Coal and showing his journey of discovery that his world wasn't as good as he thought it was, and she did a great job of showing how he got himself and Elizabeth, his newly kidnapped human companion, out of that mess. Including the way he tricked Chalcedony.Burns made me actually feel the train wreck that was Chalcedony's descent into madness, sympathize with Coal, and be fearful for Elizabeth's life. And the entry of Isis into the story made me pump my fist. What a wonderfully open minded lady. I actually would cheer for her conquest of Everleaf, though I kind of dreaded her as one of Everleaf's faceless would-be conquerors at the beginning. But that's how this story goes; things are cleverly turned on their heads, including a whole lot of familiar tropes. But I won't get into further details on the trope-busting part - you'll just have to read the book!
2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. His best friend Chalcedony By Kayti Nika Raet Coal by Constance Burris is the first book in the Everleaf series, a YA fantasy novel. Sixteen year old Coal is a human who has lived in the world of fey most of his life. His best friend Chalcedony, is an elven princess who is about to become queen in a few days. Though they have feelings for each other they are unable to act on them do to hostilities brewing between humans and fae. But when a human child, someone Coal swore he would protect, unintentionally breaks one of the fey's most sacred laws he soon finds himself having to choose vetween doing what is right or choosing to side woth his best friend. Whatever choice he makes has the potential to cause the biggest war the realm has ever seen.I liked Coal a lot. It's a fast-paced, solid addition to the fantasy genre. It actually reminded me of Gregor the Overlander by Suzanne Collins. Both feature a young black protagonist, protecting young spunky charges, as they try not to fall in love with princess in a world nestled closely against our own. Coal is strong entry to the series and Burris leaves just enough mystery that you'll be hungry for book 2. I hope we get to learn more about Coal's past and how he REALLY arrived into the fey realms. More please.
