This was an adventure to follow the princess. I like the fantasy elements and that there’s some romance though that’s not the focus. I enjoyed it and hope that the nation will come together to be the best nation it can be. But I was not invested enough to continue with the series. Sometimes I got confused with what was real and what was a curse that was making the narrator unreliable. But for the most part, it’s an engaging read that keeps you guessing to the end!

This story felt like every other YA fantasy. I was told this is contains a unique magic system, but the basic ideas of it are common, and blood magic is nothing new.

However, it isn’t bad, and the audiobook was very well done.

This was a lot darker than I anticipated!! I enjoyed reading this book for the majority of the book. I felt like the world was set up really well and had pretty distinct features. The Characters were actually really great! It's one of the first YA FMC that actually has a brain and can communicate through problems and make things work with a partner. There was also an awesome component of consent with the Fade to Black scenes! 
However, the ending and the epilogue felt a bit rushed and felt like it lacked depth. 
Also the narrator for the audiobook wasn't it for me.

This was a decent fantasy romance book. I didn’t absolutely love it, but I will probably read the sequel.
The world building was decent, though the explanation of soul magic was a bit confusing and hard to follow. There was some info-dumping at the beginning which always turns me off a bit, but it wasn’t unforgivable.
I thought the plot was somewhat rushed, and I especially thought the romance was built up too quickly and didn’t feel real to me. I like when the author makes me work for it haha
I was disappointed that mermaids weren’t more involved in the plot. 

In one sentence, I would say the book has a similar vibe to a Court of Thorns and Roses, but not as good.

Spice level: 🌶🌶/5

Specific to the audiobook:
I want to preface this by saying that I absolutely love audiobooks, so a negative review is rare from me. Unfortunately, I strongly disliked the narration of this book and would recommend skipping the audiobook. The narrator seemed too focused on creating different voices for each character, and ended up making most of them sounds incredibly annoying…I also noticed some weird editing where it was obvious that different takes had been spliced together. Finally, the narrator’s constant pronunciation of silent G’s grated my nerves the entire book. (“ding-Guh-y”, “sing-Guh-ing”, etc).
