I loved this ! A perfect, soft hearted, forbidden romance between a prince and a commoner. This book had me in all the feels wishing for them to be able to be together despite what was expected of the prince’s responsibilities. I loved seeing Kit come out of his cold personality and warm up towards Niamh. I am a sucker for a good grumpy sunshine! Kit had shouldered many responsibilities and expectations of what being a prince meant. Seeing Kit come into his emotional side, finding solace and comfort in Niamh warmed my heart so much. These two balance each other out perfectly and are truly meant to be!

This was absolutely beautiful, I'm very tempted to buy a copy for myself because of the story and the beautiful cover!! I really liked reading Niamh and Kit's love story, I liked reading about the politics and also really enjoyed the magic system in this book. I really liked the writing and how it's closed door(I think it's implied). The characters are well thought out and I really like the addition of Rosa and Miriam would LOVE to read about their story (talking to you, Author). Rosa and Miriam are so cute together and I really want to see how the rest of their story unfolds and what happens with the politics. I really hope that Jack and Sofia fall in love so they won't be in a loveless marriage and also be able to share their burdens with each other. I think Jack and Kit's relationship although is complicated, but after knowing the reason why both sides react that way, you can't help but see that they love each other, just that they don't know how to express it properly due to their upbringing. I hope to see in the next book (hopefully there is and is focusing on Rosa and Miriam) that we get to see how being married to Kit has affected Niamh and her family and their business which Miriam also works at ( i think). Really enjoyed this book and went in almost blind and I was not really expecting to enjoy it this much because I didn't really enjoy A Far Wilder Magic that much.

A predictable and lighthearted read, if a bit repetitive. The main characters were pretty flat and I found myself skimming the last third of the book just to get to the conclusion.

Despite some questionable world building choices, I really loved this book thanks to every single one of the characters (and the plot going harder than it really had to). It made me deliriously happy. Real kicking my little feet in the air vibes :)
