I really enjoyed how The Unbroken explored their often cantankerous relationship and believably dealt with the resentment Touraine felt towards her mother for the hand she was dealt in life. Touraine was kidnapped and taken from her mother at a young age, only to meet her again as an adult, serving the colonizers her mother fights against. I really loved the family dynamics in The Unbroken, which explores all types of families. ‘Because I can fight for the side that’s winning” Why not fight for the side that gives you freedom?’ ‘You’ll have to fight for one side or the other. “‘Too many died in a war that’s not theirs. My biggest issues with The Unbroken revolved around the main romance between a princess, Luca, and one of the people she colonized, Touraine, and the lack of credibility I felt of those characters in their respective positions. I also was incredibly intrigued by the magical system, which sadly, I felt was a bit vague.
For me the standouts of the novel were undoubtedly the female characters and their relationships, as well as the representation of LGBT+ characters and a disabled main character. I was immediately sucked into The Unbroken, and never wanted to put it down.
Through assassinations and massacres, in bedrooms and war rooms, Touraine and Luca will haggle over the price of a nation. Someone who can sway the rebels toward peace, while Luca focuses on what really matters: getting her uncle off her throne. Someone desperate enough to tiptoe the bayonet's edge between treason and orders. But now, her company has been sent back to her homeland to stop a rebellion, and the ties of blood may be stronger than she thought. Stolen as a child and raised to kill and die for the empire, her only loyalty is to her fellow conscripts.
