Why did I pick this book: I participated in the blog tour hosted by I Am a Reader, Not a Writer. (I received a copy of this book for review purposes.)

Did I enjoy this book: I really enjoyed this book. I was intrigued by the synopsis but I was surprised by how much I enjoyed Tournament of Chance. I did not expect to like it as much as I did even while reading it. The last third really hooked me.

I don’t read a lot of fantasy, medieval times book. In fact, I can’t remember the last one I read…if I did at all. Anyway… This was a really good “first” book for me. I didn’t feel like I was in a time when there were kings and commoners and dragons but I was immersed in this world with such ease. I was lost in this land. There were dragons, trolls, wizards, other flying reptile beasts…and time travel. Who couldn’t love that?

Prince Dane Ormvalder was a fantastic character. He had so many emotions and struggled through them as he figured out what he felt and what was going on in his world. Heather was a strong, female lead character. I loved her wit, sarcasm, and how much she cared about others. There wasn’t a character that I didn’t like. I cared about just about everyone. Manny, Shimmer, Jovander, Gumm, and Ariel all added to the story and sometimes had me laughing out loud. The Dragon Rebels and other secondary characters added to this story. I loved the chef and even the fairy who had it out for the Ormvalder royals. 

For me, Tournament of Chance was unique and kept me interested. I thought the plot was really well-written and different. I didn’t expect the outcome at all. The landscape, people, and cultures were described well and made me feel as if I were there. My only wish was to find out what happened to King Chance. I understand what happened but I would have liked a little more. (I don’t want to spoil anything about this book which is why I won’t say more about this one point.)

Would I recommend it: I would recommend this book. I would even recommend it to people who would say that this isn’t their genre, it was that good. 

Will I read it again: I think I may read this book again at some point in the future. I wasn’t sure at first, but after finishing it, I think I will revisit Tournament of Chance.

About the book: In Tournament of Chance, a hunter’s daughter becomes the spark that ignites a revolution—in time.

When a beautiful commoner enters the Tournament of Chance archery competition, her thwarted victory sparks a revolution in the oppressive kingdom of Destiny. Although Heather never believed the legends about the restoration of Ormaria, after three shape-shifting Ormarian wizards awaken from a long magical slumber, she joins their perilous quest to regain the throne. Heather battles vicious predators and angry trolls to free the wizards’ magic, but at a horrendous cost. She is unexpectedly torn from the arms of the man she loves and hurled back in time to fulfill a prophecy not yet written. The ensuing maelstrom tests Heather’s survival skills, wits, and endurance. Will she become an unwritten footnote in history, or can she trust the magic to lead her back to her one true love?
