The Stolen Kingdom by Jillian Boehme
4.0
"Regardless of my attempts at guarding my heart, he'd wormed his way in."
I love a good standalone fantasy and I am happy to add this to my collection. A slow quiet romance led by a young woman unafraid to be herself. Mara's average regular approach to life spoke to me. She is level headed and her appreciation for the normal every day resounded with me. I appreciated the romance I felt brewing. Neither slow nor fast, it seemed to grow naturally with space for independence. And the food!!! I found myself hungry reading about the meals Mara clearly appreciated.
A standalone fantasy can be alot to pack into one book and overall the world and magic system were built well. My one complaint would be my desire for more. The magic is beautiful and I would have loved to dive into the complexity of it, but I believe this would have been too much for this neatly packaged standalone. I truly enjoyed this story and I look forward to see what Boehme brings forth next.
Thank you so much to TorTeen and the author for this gorgeous story and sending me a free finished copy.
