I haven’t read a fantasy that gripped me like this in a long time.
There is only so much I can say without spoiling, but I think the build of the world and the mysteries behind it kept me on my toes and I didn’t expect the ending and some of the twists, which is hard to do with romantasy now. The romance of this romantasy did not overtake the book, and the fantasy plot line was still present and for front.
The main character is a princess who was meant to be the spare, her sister taking the charge of being arranged for political marriage and trained in combat and court etiquette. When they meat her sisters to be husband, he declares he wants to marry the FMC. From there she travels to his realm with new monsters, and a body guard who can’t quite leave her alone.
