Damn, what an ending. “The Veiled Kingdom” is a romantasy but the world building and power scaling is very vague in my opinion. The book has a plot but I think it mostly focuses on Nyra & Dacre’s relationship. Dacre is hot af. I ate up all his possessive moments. If you want a mostly vibes and easy to read fantasy story with spice then this may be the book for you. My biggest gripe is that it wasn’t a standalone. Why can’t we have fantasy standalones?!

3.5 -love hollys books they are easy to read fantasies. some trouble in a kingdom. boy meets girl. i thought the interest in each other was kinda quick but maybe that was me. felt the last 1/4 was spice heavy and wish it was more spread out (could be my tired eyes, it’s 10:19pm). but overall excited to continue this journey/ story. see what happens.

STOP NO I LOVED

honestly couldn’t get through this quick enough I really enjoyed it.

MMC is the most “touch her and die but I also want to kill her” vibes.

Really loved this and cannot to read the next one.

Read like a bad wattpad. Characters constantly contradicting themselves in a way that makes no damn sense. Feels like the author really only knows how to write smut and it’s not even good the rest was just god awful

and you know what that’s good enough for me! something that is so underrated is the feeling after reading a mid book that still gratified you.

like was this a masterpiece? no! has this type of story been done a million times? of course! did i love the mmc? also no! BUT, did i have a fun and binge read this? WELL YES!!!!!!

i can’t stand dacre… and that last chapter did irk me lmao. i get this is an enemies to lovers but he was too mean for my liking

I enjoyed this but it was a little too quick for my liking idk. I needed this to be double the length and more slow burn and relationship building. Dacre has a dirty mouth and instantly went super possessive super quick which I usually like but it needed more time lol
