Falling for Falling Kingdoms
At first, I wasn't sure if I would enjoy this book let alone the series but I actually did. The characters are not what I thought they would be and there were definitely some twists I didn't expect like the forbidden love. So far, my favorite is Princess Cleo because she may come off as a spoiled brat of a princess but she's a very determined, strong and independent girl. I look forward to reading the next book.

I really liked this book...liked not loved. The love was way to instant for my taste. I hope as the series continues the characters grow with it in maturity. Princess Cleo...I just kept saying seriously you stupid girl! Lol idk she was very annoying. I think right now my favorite characters have to be Lucia and at times Magnus. But I will definitely continue the series to see what happens next wooh!

A good start-up fantasy if you are new to fantasy, but a little lackluster if you're not. I'll probably continue on in this series at later point.

I didn't need cleo and theon's romance at all. It came out of nowhere and seemed a little forced. The characters were hard to follow at first but wow this author is not afraid of making the reader uncomfortable. Looking forward to the next books!

Damn, this book was GOOD!
I really loved how this book was split up between the four characters, and it was done very well. I was able to see each character's POV clearly, and I didn't wonder who it was that I was now reading because each character had their own, clear voice.
Some of these characters did annoy me a bit, though, such as Cleo. For the majority of this book, she is a damsel in distress, and takes pride in that. However, by the end, this is made up for and I am excited to see where she goes from here after all the shit that went down at the end of this book!
Magnus and Lucia were, by far, my favorite characters in the book. I loved each of them separately, as well as together, and the brother/sister dynamic really added to this already amazing story. Lucia's abilities are really cool to look at, and I can't wait to explore them more in the coming books. Magnus, my smol boy, is one of the shining lights of this book, and I CANNOT wait to see how his character moves from where he is at present.
We really didn't get a lot of stuff from Jonas. In this book, he seemed more like a secondary character while Cleo, Magnus, and Lucia were the main cast. While I enjoyed his story and his viewpoint on everything, and I understood where he was coming from, I just wish that I had gotten MORE from him, and a bit more character development.
Something else that annoyed me was that everything happened way too easily for some of the characters. Their journeys were hard, yes, but the solutions to some of the things were simple and they solved them quite easily, and this annoyed me. I like books where the situations are HARD to get out of, and the decisions made impact the rest of the story.
Overall, I really enjoyed this book and the amazing world-building that this story had. This book was basically a set up to all the shit I know it going to go down later on in the books, and I'm excited to see where it goes from here!
4.25/5 stars.
