Thank you to HarperCollins and NetGalley for the ARC!
This was an unexpected delight! This is a perfect romantasy filled with political intrigue and I loved every page. It was exactly what I was looking to read and I am so glad I requested this ARC!
This book follows Jory, a sheltered princess, her childhood best friend, Asher, who is now a skilled assassin, and Ky, the feared warrior king of a neighbouring kingdom that she is betrothed to. I loved reading from all 3 POVs, and I absolutely loved our main characters. The story itself is low fantasy, but there is some good worldbuilding, and I found it very easy to read. The characters got a lot of the focus in this book which I enjoyed.
I also loved the scenes with Ky's men, how all of them felt developed and like individual characters rather than just faceless guards following a king about. I loved reading about their interactions with each other and our main trio.
The relationships between our main trio were so good. I was hooked from the first page, and although it was a very rocky start, watching it progress as the book went on was excellent.
I cannot wait to continue this series! Highly recommend for anyone who wants a fast read filled with court politics, romance, and a queer poly relationship rather than a love triangle.
