Dark and romantic, Forged by Fate was a wonderful New Adult paranormal romance. I enjoyed reading this book and I'm curious to see what's coming up in the series.Sadie was a great heroine. She was really strong and determined to take care of herself. And, when her reality was turned upside down, she toughed it out and proved herself. Her stubbornness about accepting help from others was a bit frustrating. But, for the most part, I liked her.Theo was a sweetie. I thought it was so adorable that he waited to long to meet his mate and saved himself for the woman he was destined for. And, he was so completely devoted to Sadie and intensely loyal to his loved ones. I thought he was adorable.The romance was sweet. Sadie and Theo were adorable together. Their feelings for each other were always clear and deep. There were certainly sparks between them, but not too much. They were lovely together.My problem with this book, though, was that there was too much going on. Too many things happening at once, too many different mythologies in one place. It was a little too fantastical, with all the coincidences, because, with everything going on at once, there wasn't much explanation. I still enjoyed this book, but this issue kept me from loving it.The plot was good. I was kept interested the entire way through, though I wasn't totally hooked. I enjoyed the story and the ending was lovely. It seemed like everything was tied up at the end, so I'm curious to see what the author has planned.Forged by Fate was a lovely New Adult read. I really enjoyed reading it. Lovers of NA romance, if you want something with some magic, then you might want to check this book out.*I received a free copy from the publisher in exchange for an honest review
