A review by curls
Kingdom Cold by Brittni Chenelle
2.0
Charlotte is only sixteen when she is going to be given in marriage as an alliance to a powerful country with a strong military.
Young is the youngest prince who is unexpectedly gaining a kingdom. Charlotte doesn’t want to get married, and impulsively shoots an arrow at him when he arrives. Their marriage is off to a great start.
"I'm Prince Young of Vires," I said, bowing deeply. My mind raced.
I'll never love you.
I continued. "It's an honor to meet you."
You tried to kill me.
Thankfully it is canceled when enemies attack the castle- forcing them to run.
This is a plot driven story without a lot of character development. It makes me think of younger (middle grade) works that have a lot of action but not a lot of characterization. But then there are talks about the consummation of the marriage that wouldn’t make this appropriate for very young readers.
It has several POV - Princess Charlotte, Prince Young, Milly the ladies maid, Prince Emmett of the rival kingdom, Prince Minseo Young’s older brother. I really grew to like Young - he’s a honorable guy.
The ending was surprising. Especially when the author announced that it is part one of three. This book could be read as a stand-alone.
Ultimately I didn’t care for it. This feels like a first draft. It’s too heavy on plot twists without character development. Emmett was the only voice that was really unique, and that’s because of his arrogance. I am giving it one extra star for the ending.
