Review: Nette By Barbara Rayne

I would like to thank the author Barbara Rayne for sending me a copy of Nette to read and review.

Nette was born with brown eyes in a world where all males are born with brown eyes and all females with blue eyes. Having brown eyes Nette is treated as if she has the plague. No one wants to be her friend. She has no one her family was murdered. She is immortal and destined to be the Queen.

Nette is trained to be a soldier along with all the males. Nette can not be killed. Nette's trainer does not believe that she is the one that was sent to save them all. So he sets out to prove that she is not the one. When he cannot prove this and because of his actions and attitude their master removes him from being her trainer.

Nette is a very strong girl and can fight better than any of her male opponents. Everyone is afraid of Nette because of the power she has. No one wants her to be the Queen because she is different, she is not like them. They think she is a freak. She doesn't mind chopping off a few heads to make the people understand where she is coming from. That she will be Queen no matter what they believe or want. When she does take the throne she tries her best to help the people by making the taxes fairer for everyone not just the rich.

Nette meets a king, Raul whom she likes very much. At first she is not sure about her feelings for Raul. Nette not ever having anyone to love her besides her family is not sure if she can trust him or not. But she does learn to trust him and falls completely in love with him. Raul's mother and sisters do not approve of the king, a person of royalty loving someone like Nette. So they try to stop Raul from being with Nette and they almost succeed. But Nette being the person she is fights for Raul and wins another victory.

I liked Nette well as I said earlier she is a very strong heroine that can fight as well as any of her male opponents. She sets out to find where she belongs in the world and she doesn't let anyone or thing stand in her way. I like her because she didn't mind chopping off a few heads to do it. But at the same time she is very good to the ones that is good to her and shows her the respect that they would show anyone else.

Have you read Nette? What did you think? Leave me a comment and let me know what you thought.
