The Veiled Kingdom by Holly Renee
3.0

Ugh, this book had so much potential, but fell short in every way except for the spicy scenes. Lol! The ideas and premise of the story were great, but there wasn’t enough detail and depth in the writing. I personally think the book could have been double the length. It was hard to form a connection to story line, even though the ideas were good.

There were some things that annoyed me, how mmc kept saying the fmc cousins be trusted, but then he would
Trust her with top secret into and missions that no one else knew. Or to mention he had only known her for what, a couple of weeks? If that. Everything was so rushed.

There were a lot of unanswered questions. Maybe we will find out in book two.
Why did mmc’s father forbid him from communicating with his mother?
Why did his grandma live outside the veiled city?
Why did nyra not have any powers?


Book would have gotten 2 stars if the spicy scenes weren’t so good. I will still read the next book.
