Story4.5 out of 5 stars 1,389
For as long as she can remember, Evangeline Fox has believed in true love and happy endings…until she learns that the love of her life will marry another. Desperate to stop the wedding and to heal her wounded heart, Evangeline strikes a deal with the charismatic, but wicked, Prince of Hearts. In exchange for his help, he asks for three kisses, to be given at the time and place of his choosing. But after Evangeline’s first promised kiss, she learns that bargaining with an immortal is a dangerous game—and that the Prince of Hearts wants far more from her than she’d pledged.

Twenty-year-old Violet Sorrengail was supposed to enter the Scribe Quadrant, living a quiet life among books and history. Now, the commanding general—also known as her tough-as-talons mother—has ordered Violet to join the hundreds of candidates striving to become the elite of Navarre: dragon riders. But when you’re smaller than everyone else and your body is brittle, death is only a heartbeat away...because dragons don’t bond to “fragile” humans. They incinerate them.

Chosen from birth to usher in a new era, Poppy’s life has never been her own. The life of the Maiden is solitary. Never to be touched. Never to be looked upon. Never to be spoken to. Never to experience pleasure. Waiting for the day of her Ascension, she would rather be with the guards, fighting back the evil that took her family, than preparing to be found worthy by the gods. But the choice has never been hers.

Everything about my life is a lie. As a hidden twin princess, born second, I have only one purpose―to sacrifice my life for my sister if death comes for her. I’ve been living under the guise of a poor, obscure girl of no standing, slipping into the palace and into the role of the true princess when danger is present. Now the queen is dead and the ageless King Eidolon has sent my sister a gift―an eerily familiar gift―and a proposal to wed. I don’t trust him, so I do what I was born to do and secretly take her place on the eve of the coronation.

Twelve-year-old Sophie has never quite fit into her life. She’s skipped multiple grades and doesn’t really connect with the older kids at school, but she’s not comfortable with her family, either. The reason? Sophie’s a Telepath, someone who can read minds. No one knows her secret - at least, that’s what she thinks.... But the day Sophie meets Fitz, a mysterious (and adorable) boy, she learns she’s not alone. He’s a Telepath too, and it turns out the reason she has never felt at home is that, well...she isn’t. Fitz opens Sophie’s eyes to a shocking truth....

I decided that Orion Lake needed to die after the second time he saved my life. Everyone loves Orion Lake. Everyone else, that is. Far as I’m concerned, he can keep his flashy combat magic to himself. I’m not joining his pack of adoring fans. I don’t need help surviving the Scholomance, even if they do. Forget the hordes of monsters and cursed artifacts; I’m probably the most dangerous thing in the place. Just give me a chance and I’ll level mountains and kill untold millions, making myself the dark queen of the world.

The worldbuilding in this book is so phenomenal!
When I read "Crown of Bones," I was thoroughly impressed with the creativity of AK Wilder's world and characters, but this book stunned me all the more! There's nothing like it anywhere! I love Ash! And Kaylin even more! 🔥 You have to read this book! It kept me hooked through the whole thing with both expected and unexpected surprises.

This book was so long
Story: 2.5 ⭐️
Steam: 1 🔥 YA no smut

Oof. This book was long and sure felt long. There was just so much that could have been trimmed from the story so I didn’t feel like it was dragging.
As for the story itself, I was bummed from the start. The end of book one was a huge reveal and a battle starting. I was so excited to see where that was going. I expected book 2 to pick up right where we left off but instead it was weeks after the battle ended and Ash had completely forgotten the reveal. I was instantly disappointed and that feeling carried throughout the book. And then it took the whole second book for the reveal to happen again.
The concept of this story is great. I liked the magic system and I was loving the blossoming romances. The romances in this book definitely took a back burner to the incredibly drawn out plot. Honestly, it was what was keeping me around and it wasn’t strong enough in this book. There were so many storylines going on at some points that I was confused and just not into it.
I’m really disappointed and even though I still have so many questions, I can’t take another 18 hour book that barley moves the storyline forward. I’ll probably just read a synopsis online for the next book.
