*this book was sent to me by the publisher to give an honest review in return*
4.5 stars. This was such an amazing book! It’s about Princess Jiara who is forced to marry her sister’s fiancée after she was killed where she now goes to his kingdom to find her sister’s killer in a world where she is unable to communicate. This story was beautifully written and I had to say before I picked it up, I was nervous that I wasn’t
going to love it. Once I read the first two chapters, I was hooked into the story and didn’t stop reading it until I was finished. There was just everything I loved that was included into one book! Romance, mystery , fantasy and suspense was all jammed into one book. I also loved the world building which was simple but also very unique. The writing was amazing ,the pacing was perfect, the conflicts were just wow and there was some good page turners.
I enjoyed the main character Jiara. She was kind of forced to get married and was brave to go to a new country with her new husband. Jiara has dyslexia and it was good to see the author writing this into a character as most female characters are written to be super strong like assassins, powerful, etc but this heroine was strong by having to be strong for her country. I enjoyed seeing her development throughout the novel. Also I enjoyed the side characters in the book who also had some developments but I enjoyed how they played out their roles in the book. Though I have to say I wish there were more scenes with Jiara and Raffa as I totally shipped them together. The romance in this book is forced marriage trope which I enjoyed in this book!
The ending was well done with this book and I was so sad we only had ONE book. I wish it was written into a series or a duology. I just loved the world and characters that it was hard to say goodbye. Everything that I love to read about was combined into this one book which made it so much better. I did have a minor problem which was mostly the romance but overall this was such a great book. I’m so glad I decided to pick this one up and read it! This book is perfect for fans of Serpent & Dove and those who enjoy forged marriage.
