I think they’re standalone companion novels set in the same world. I don’t think I’ll be continuing on with this series. I’m probably not explaining that very well so I’m very sorry about that! This plot direction just wasn’t for me in this novel! I think the characters were something I enjoyed but other than that I just didn’t care much. Suddenly there were moments where everything was happening, then quiet, then suddenly everything happened again! Drama everywhere! I think at one point I was just like “damn gimmie a break!” But then somehow her magic fixed everything and did so many things as once and everything was fine and dandy again! Those moments were just too convenient and resolved too quickly. Heartbreak was felt.Īnother thing about the plot was that it didn’t add up at some parts.

I won’t even mention any more of that because it broke my heart! Literally crushed me. So reading their relationship warmed my heart…even though everything just crumbled to dust.

You honestly don’t see many relationships between brother and sister unless they’re fighting for something. You really got to see their love and loyalty for each other throughout the story. I think though I loved her relationship with her brother Leo the most. One character I really liked was Lorelai. Although some moments did drag on and I was like “I just don’t care!” But again the ending was good! That fight scene was interesting to read and I felt it added to the story.

I mean I liked the action at some parts, especially the ending. I don’t want to say where in the book so I don’t spoil it, but a part of their story just annoyed me. I enjoyed Kol and Lorelai, although they had moments in the book where things just felt off. His people need food, and so he takes on the position as huntsman to hunt down Lorelai. He sets off on a journey to Irina (the evil Queen) to ask for help. Along the way we meet Kol, a dragon Prince from a neighboring realm who is suddenly thrust onto the throne after tragedy strikes. The story follows Lorelai who is our main character and her brother Leo as they live in hiding while trying to get back her kingdom and throne. I did enjoy Lorelai and Kol, and I loved Leo. I felt that the writing was almost childish and the dialogue felt weird to me. I was really hoping to enjoy it because it was a Snow White rebelling and she’s my favorite princess.
