More of a 2.5
Not sure why it didn't vibe with me, the author was also repetitive with certain descriptions. Didn't hate read it, but not one that I'd recommend.

Excited for book 2!
I am a huge fan of the enemies to lovers romance story line.
The world building was done very well and jumped right into being an exciting plot. One thing I loved was the acknowledgment of modern technology at least in the human realm.
This book has a strong female main character with sass and I'm here for it! Dani's character is my favorite and the story is told from her POV, so this may be why. I'm hoping maybe in the future books we could see a little more of the other characters' perspectives.
From the description of the book I knew that this was going to be an almost spin off of ACOTAR, but I was hoping for more "inspired by" rather than spin off (not sure how else to explain that one...)
The ending definitely had me thrown for a loop and overall I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I am looking forward to the 2nd book

I really enjoyed this book! I thought it was interesting that Elf-Hame runs parallel to the human world. This series has such an interesting premise. The ending has me wanting to read right into the next book.

*I received an Advanced Reader Copy (ARC) of A Prince So Cruel by Ingrid Seymour in exchange for an honest review.*
I really enjoyed this book. A Prince So Cruel (APSC) was a quick read, not a very large story but the structure, meat, and bones were there for something that I think can be great in the sequel and any other books in this story.
A brief overview of APSC: Daniella otherwise known as Dani is our Female Main Character (FMC) who is in her mid twenties, a healer in her world, and otherwise nothing special. Kalyll is our blue haired Fae Male Main Character (MMC) who has his group of friends (think of the Inner Circle in ACOTAR) kidnap Daniella while she is shopping.
The first half of the story is Dani trying to figure out why she was kidnapped and how to get away from these people and get back to her patients who need her in her world. The second half of the book is when Kalyll deems Dani worthy of some knowledge of their journey and why Daniella is so important to him.
Throw in a small spice scene, enemies to lovers, a quest for answers and to break a curse, and betrayal and you've got a really fun story.
A Prince So Cruel ends on a cliffhanger that leaves you wanting more so be prepared.

Dnf @ 41%. Wasn't a fan of the writing style, I've never read the Cruel Prince series, but I felt it was less like Acotar and more like the Cruel Prince. Having attempted to read this book, it didn't hold my attention. In fact, I found myself putting it down every other chapter.

I finished the book the same day I started it and loved every single page.
