Bound to the Shadow Prince by Ruby Dixon is not part of her Aspect & Anchor series, despite the similarities in titles. Instead, it's a new realm, where a pissed off goddess demands that representatives from two warring kingdoms be locked together in a tower for seven years. Candra from the human kingdom and Nemeth of the Fellian kingdom are thrown together in a windowless, bricked up tower. How will they deal with their circumstances???
Well, it's a romance, so you can probably figure it out XD
It's a great story, with a narrator who has a difficult time adjusting from being a palace brat to having to do things for herself, while also dealing with chronic illness, and political intrigue. The ending came a little too quickly for my taste, but a solid story.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the eARC of this book.

Thank you to Ruby Dixon, Wattpad Books and Netgalley for the opportunity to read an ARC of this book.

Y'all. I don't know what I was expecting from this book, but it surprised me! (That is said as a giant compliment!) If you, like me, are familiar with Ruby's most well known work, the Ice Planet Barbarians series, you know to expect a witty FMC and some A+ spice. She took what I knew and loved about her writing and leveled it up in this book!

This book is for you if you love:

Dang that was a really long book for Ruby Dixon. I loved it. I was craving a nice standalone and this definitely delivered. She’s not just writing about blue alien songs, y’all! There’s a gargoyle too.

The first part is difficult to read for those of us with claustrophobia
