expelliearmus 's review for:

To Charm a Dark Prince by Kathryn Ann Kingsley

3.0

---

First and foremost, I’m obsessed with this cover. It’s gorgeous! But I think that it might be the covers fault, just a little, that skewed my expectations going into it. I expected a more adult vibe but this reads totally YA until the last 5% or so. And I wasn’t prepared for such a young (and at times just goofy) vibe. It took me a little bit of time to get into it because the FMC was just so… Young? Talkative? Annoying? All of the above? Whatever it was, it did take me some getting used to. But once I was able to sort of drop my expectations and just take it for what it was, I did mostly enjoy this book. It was an easy read & kept me interested enough to keep going the whole time.

Though it’s not plot heavy, I feel like we are now finally set up to get some good plot in the next book, so there’s a good chance you’ll catch me reviewing that one as well. It may not have been a 5⭐️ for me, but I still wouldn’t mind seeing where this one goes.

Thanks to the author and NetGalley for providing an advance copy in exchange for an honest review!
