A Dance of Lies by Brittney Arena
3.0
dark tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Plot

This book twisted me so much that I ended up rooting for Illian toward the end. He’s just so brilliant and cunning, carefully weaving his plans until everything fell perfectly into place. I genuinely felt triumphant when his schemes unfolded exactly as he intended, it was so satisfying when he revealed his plan and had everyone dancing in the palm of his hand. It must’ve been so hard for Illian, carrying this whole book on his back 🙂‍↔️


For once, I regret not spoiling myself who will be the ML, because I ended up feeling bitter about the couple. Guess I’m just tired of seeing royalty always get the girl 🫩 

By the time I got halfway through, I couldn’t care less about Vasalie, Anton, or their romance, I just wanted to know what Illian had up his sleeve. And well, he delivered… but only for a short while, because of course Anton had to be the one to stand out.
