Nirel (The Timekeepers of Laeviin Book 1) Kindle Edition

by Sarah Emmer (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.6 out of 5 stars 43 ratings
A healer in hiding.
A soldier fulfilling his duty.
A seer in need of an heir.

Nirel hides her healing magic from everyone except her family. If anyone discovers her secret, she'll be forced to serve as the king's healer. An honor most healers do not survive.

When soldiers invade her village and fatally wound her brother, she must decide between keeping her secret or saving him.

The soldier leading the invasion remembers her, but can't recall how. Having witnessed her power, he must bring her to the king or forfeit his life.

Once she reaches the capital, the seer sets his plans in motion to secure his future and her hand.

Nirel is a high fantasy adventure fraught with political intrigue, complex magic, romance, and time travel.

    There is something about this author’s style that results in deeply intimate characters — as in, the reader can climb into their shoes and walk as them on their journeys. It results in a compelling story in a rich, multicultural, multilingual world with real world cultures as inspiration (this is the only book I’ve seen that mentions henna). And the author doesn’t shy away from very real discussions on women’s health and women’s issues.

    To my misfortune, though, this book was not for me. But I do hope the right readers come across this work and love it.

    Warning: Not sure how to write a review without SPOILERS!

    In a world where much magic seems to be feared, we discover the endless possibilities - and limitations - of healers, seers, time keepers, and elemental wielders.

    A love triangle, a morally grey MMC, and both saints and goddesses meddling with mortal affairs....

    I'm ready for book two!

    If you’re wanting a well-written, high fantasy romance, this might be your next read. Extremely well paced and really intriguing twists and turns. It was just a really easy read while also having depth at the same time. That’s hard to find in this genre.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A well written love triangle with emotion and intrigue
    Reviewed in the United States on January 22, 2024
    I think this is a great fantasy romance debut! I thought it was a very engaging, compelling read and finished it in one sitting.

    The FMC, Nirel Neydelin, is a young apothecary and healer who is ripped away from all she knows after an attack on her family. Due to her revealed healing abilities, she is taken to the king, and conscripted into service as the king’s healer. She’s a very empathetic and caring heroine, and it’s a pleasure watching her strength and fortitude develop over the course of the book.

    One of the MMCs is Jase Nagden, a soldier in the king’s army and one of the men who must remove her from her family after she heals her brother and reveals her magic. He has an immediate tenderness toward Nirel that he cannot explain., and Nirel realizes they have both suffered losses and share a bond.

    The other MMC is Corvin, who she meets after she arrives at the capital. He’s a seer in the King’s court, and motivated primarily out of fear based obedience to his father and to the king. He is pretty manipulative in general, but his seer abilities entwine with Nirel’s emotions and healing magic and cloud her mind. Not a truly bad guy, and charming. But he is being driven by unseen forces and some level of desperation.

    Nirel discovers that she is not only required to serve the king as healer for 10 years, but that her fate is bound to the seer. She looks for ways to bargain for escape and is distressed by her true desire to be with Jase. But being the master of her own destiny looks to be further complicated when strange magical forces keep attacking her and mysterious voices continue to call to her. Learning the history of the country opens her eyes to the existence of time manipulation and everything really gets crazy.

    I could not put this book down. Read it in one sitting. I thought the world building and character development and plot and intrigue were incredibly well done. Tension of the romantic and sexual kind intermingled with faith and even a nod to purity culture, adventure, intrigue, hidden identities, a forced proximity love triangle and “touch her and die” vibes, it really has it all!

    5.0 out of 5 stars A Fantastic Fantasy Romance
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 2, 2024

    This was my first audiobook and...WOW!

    I was completely hooked. The prose was engaging and plot had depth and intrigue. The characters were so well written and the narration was fantastic, especially when it came to Jase and Corvin.

    The story is a high fantasy with an unique twist involving time travel. There's a love triangle but it's done so well. To be honest, I fell for Jase and Corvin individually alongside Nirel, and the push and pull from both MMCs was brilliant. I must say, though, I'm a sucker for Corvin. There's just something about him.

    Can't wait to read the second book, which is also available in audiobook.

    Reviewed in Germany on December 12, 2023

    While romantasy is not my usual genre, I read “Nirel” for the diverse representation it promised, and I was not disappointed. Of course, the book is a bit too heavy on romance to my taste, but that was to be expected, so I won’t grumble about that. Apart from the romance, I loved pretty much everything about “Nirel”.

    This is a dark story that deals with heavy subjects in a sensitive manner, which is a huge draw for me. The prose is smooth, and the characterisation superb.

    The cliffhanger at the end was not a problem for me, as I already had the sequel “Dissonance” on my Kindle, and, frankly, I couldn’t wait to dive into it!

    4.0 out of 5 stars Incredible indie fantasy romance
    Reviewed in Germany on October 14, 2023

    So I was not expecting to be sucked in by this book! 😂 The magic system is really well developed, which I love - it's the one thing about fantasy novels that keeps me addicted in adulthood, so it's great to see this in an independently published book.

    The characters are really well written: Nirel remains a relatable character despite her powers and her relationship development with the other characters occurs very naturally and believably. The secondary characters are all fleshed out and dynamic - Bernard is my personal favourite: he reminds me a bit of Davos in Game of Thrones, very down to earth and fatherly.

    This is what I would describe as romantic fantasy, leaning more towards the romance: while there are political aspects to it, it's more character driven and focussed on character relationships. (Keep an eye out for that one really spicy scene: I realized a tad too late that I had ventured on a NSFW bit on my phone when sitting in a tightly crowded hospital canteen at work, which left me a tad red-faced lol 😂)

    It reminds me of A Court of Thorns and Roses in its genre and writing style, with a few similar story notes. While I think the prose style itself is a bit simple and to the point for my personal taste (I'm used to big tomes of fantasy novels punctuated by indepth descriptions of massive feast menus, coughGeorgeRRMartincough), I think it works well with the pace of the novel. The sequence of events is so fast paced that floral language or any huge character introspection would crank it to a halt, so it works great for the purposes of this book.

    It hooked me from the get-go with its story - Rajah is a dab hand at a cliffhanger 😂 A sequel is also in the works, which is brilliant news and which I will definitely be keeping an eye out for 🥰
