What is it about?

(Blurb from GoodReads)

One quest. One crown. One shattered heart.

The Royal Trials were never meant to be easy, not even for an imposter like Rybet Waise. But nothing could have prepared her for the magical storms, mutated animals and malicious gods standing in her way.

There is no time for tears, mere hours after being bathed in Prince Alexander’s blood, Rybet must embark on a quest. The second trial dictates she find a missing magical artefact–Queen Ophelia’s crown.

Released from the overbearing confines of the royal palace, Rybet competes not only with the other remaining ladies, but also with the land itself. Magic is more volatile than ever, and the gods have come out to play.

Royal love interests who don’t know how to share only make things harder for this dirty pond-dweller–if that’s really all she is.

Rybet will do whatever it takes to make it out alive, and with her heart unbroken.

Thoughts

Oh my Cliffhanger!

Wowsers, just wowsers! Not only do we truly find out who Calla… Lo… Luna… Ry IS (which, come on… we all already knew) we see the startling progression of her relationships with the princes and the hands behind the devastation in the kingdom.

And as for those relationships? Holy emotion!! An RH that portrays jealousy! It’s real – and it happens here, thank god.

At this moment, I really can’t decide who my favorite Prince is – much like Ry can’t!

Perspective

First Person, Single POV

Ending Type

Cliffhanger….. a brutal, brutal cliffhanger.

Slowburn that catches fire near the 3/4 point.

  • Felt short.

 

Favorite Line

This line comes courtesy of the Author’s note at the end…..

Hey. You! Yes, you! Don’t you dare throw your kindle across the room! They’re expensive and you’ll regret it if you have to wait for a new one before you can read anything else. I don’t need that on my conscience! (97%)
