The Veiled Kingdom by Holly Renee
3.0
I tried to love this so much! On paper it has it all..lost princess, unhinged and overprotective MMC..
But I just could not vibe with the book as much as I wanted to.
The story is super fast paced with minimal world building or explanation how the magic system works.
Nyra is the princess of the kingdom, but is hiding from her father cause he is abusive and only cares about power.
She accidentally ends up in the rebel camp, where she meets the MMC Dacre.
For some reason he can’t stand her. And she can’t trust anyone, but obviously they are attracted to each other…anyways I had high hopes for the FMC. I thought she is a badass woman, but she felt very much little and helpless most of the time.
And Dacre is so mean…and not in a good way. Like I truly don’t understand why she was swooning all the time.
