The storyline of this was really good. A nice YA fantasy filled with adventure and pure relationships. I felt like this book went quickly, I liked the trial element thrown in so the story didn’t drag, I loved Nox and Selestra together. Extremely said about Micah he was a favourite. Invested in these characters!

I liked the story and the concept but something about it all felt a little rushed and underdeveloped which meant I lacked any real connection to the story. I didn't make me feel which was a shame because I got on with the writing all right and like I said, I liked the story and the characters were nice. I just think this book could of benefitted being longer, being allowed to go more in depth than it was which would of made the connection between reader and story stronger.

This felt pretty dark when I started it but it somehow managed to also be lighthearted at times and I found the ending very satisfying. The romance felt a little rushed to me, it felt like the found family elements worked better, but overall the story left me with a good feeling.

Princess of Souls is a bit of a let-down from the first book in the series. It starts out well and is a cute little adventure until the trials. The last act of the book feels incredibly rushed. Stakes are high throughout the book but problems are dealt with easily and quickly so it feels less gratifying. The final fight scene was unsatisfying and the ending doesn’t feel earned. This is a rare book that I would say should have been 100-200 pages longer.

Cool concept, but I wasn't the biggest fan of the characters, the romance and the banter. While I found it rather fast paced, it felt in some ways like more of an elaborate pitch for a film script than a book that made me pause and reflect. I don't know how else to describe it. I could easily imagine this as a generic YA fantasy film produced by some streaming service.
A bit disappointing since I recall that I quite enjoyed Christo's other book, "To Kill A Kingdom", which takes place in the same world as "Princess of Souls", though in another part of it.
