King's Bride by Beck Michaels

5.0

I loved this book! I caught myself thinking about it when I wasn't reading it and had to resist the urge to read it while at work. Probably my favorite beauty and the beast retelling! I never found myself getting bored with it or wanting to take a break.

This is such a good prequel for Guardians of the Maiden. There's so many easter eggs of things also in the Divine Blood series that I caught myself saying oh my gosh to. The spice was so good as was the relationship between Sunneva and Jokull. I feel like this book made me feel every emotion: sad, happy, angry (for the characters).

The character development is top notch. Sunneva is such a bada** and I loved her character. Jokull was so protective and just made me melt on the inside. He was also supportive of Sunneva and wanted her to be the best version of herself. He encouraged her to be the queen she was and not to bow to anyone. Basically their characters were 10/10!

Highly, highly recommend this book to fantasy and Beck Michaels' fans!
