The Stolen Kingdom by Jillian Boehme
4.0
I really enjoyed this book! I don't often read standalones, so it was very nice to read a book for once that wasn't a deep/long investment in world building and characters. To enjoy a story as just that, a story. A brief ride with some new fun people, to see where they went.
It was exactly the refreshment I needed after reading long series for ages!
Mara is sweet and likeable, and the romance between her and Alac is slowly built up.
She makes a nice MC, and is not annoyingly incapable or whiney like some can be. I liked seeing her discover her magical capabilities and unravel her family tree.
Alac is also interesting, and watching his personal growth was rewarding. I think both characters were given a good ending.
