NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A darkly enchanting fantasy about a lying witch, a cursed prince, and a sinister prophecy that ignites their doomed destinies—perfect for fans of The Cruel Prince.
“Everything you want from an enemies-to-lovers fantasy starring morally gray characters.”—BuzzFeed
Violet is a prophet and a liar, influencing the royal court with her cleverly phrased—and not always true—divinations. Honesty is for suckers, like the oh-so-not charming Prince Cyrus, who plans to strip Violet of her official role once he’s crowned at the end of the summer—unless Violet does something about it.
But when the king asks her to falsely prophesy Cyrus's love story for an upcoming ball, Violet awakens a dreaded curse, one that will end in either damnation or salvation for the kingdom—all depending on the prince’s choice of future bride. Violet faces her own choice: Seize an opportunity to gain control of her own destiny, no matter the cost, or give in to the ill-fated attraction that’s growing between her and Cyrus.
Violet’s wits may protect her in the cutthroat court, but they can't change her fate. And as the boundary between hatred and love grows ever thinner with the prince, Violet must untangle a wicked web of deceit in order to save herself and the kingdom—or doom them all.

Historia
Three weddings. Three funerals. Alessa’s gift from the gods is supposed to magnify a partner’s magic, not kill every suitor she touches. Now, with only weeks left until a hungry swarm of demons devours everything on her island home, Alessa is running out of time to find a partner and stop the invasion. When a powerful priest convinces the faithful that killing Alessa is the island’s only hope, her own soldiers try to assassinate her. Desperate to survive, Alessa hires Dante, a cynical outcast marked as a killer, to become her personal bodyguard.

Historia
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.

Historia
Nineteen-year-old Signa Farrow, orphaned as a baby, has been raised by a string of guardians, each more interested in her wealth than her well-being—and each has met an untimely end. Her last remaining relatives are the Hawthornes, an eccentric family living at the glittering and gloomy estate of Thorn Grove. Thorn Grove’s patriarch, Elijah, mourns his late wife, Lillian, through wild parties and drink, while eldest son Percy grapples for control of the family’s waning reputation and daughter Blythe suffers from the same mysterious illness that killed her mother.

Historia
Once upon a time, the kingdoms of Wales were rife with magic and conflict, and eighteen-year-old Mererid “Mer” is well-acquainted with both. She is the last living water diviner and has spent years running from the prince who bound her into his service. Under the prince’s orders, she located the wells of his enemies, and he poisoned them without her knowledge, causing hundreds of deaths. After discovering what he had done, Mer went to great lengths to disappear from his reach. Then Mer’s old handler returns with a proposition: use her powers to bring down the very prince that abused them both.

But one frigid night, the governor’s wife discovers the truth and threatens to expose Myra if she does not complete a special portrait that would resurrect the governor's dead son.

Edie is done with crime. Eight years behind bars changes a person—costs them too much time with too many of the people who need them most. And it’s all Angel’s fault. She sold Edie out in what should have been the greatest moment of their lives. Instead, Edie was shipped off to the icy prison planet spinning far below the soaring skybridges and neon catacombs of Kepler space station—of home—to spend the best part of a decade alone. But then a chance for early parole appears out of nowhere and Edie steps into the pallid sunlight to find none other than Angel waiting—and she has an offer.

Things to look forward to: curses and prophecies, all the fairytales smashes together, morally gray mc, true hate/love relationship, so much action and political intrigue, an amazing cast of characters (including a BA lesbian princess!)
CW: arranged marriage, abusive parent, gore, body horror (not mc, on page), sexual content (consensual)
I cannot recommend this book enough!!!!! While this is the first in a series, I think the ending does a good job of wrapping things up so that it’s not a cliffhanger and could possibly (although i hope it doesn’t!) stand alone. Not exactly a HEA or even a HFN, but that’s super on brand for our mcs so I am here for it.

This tale was rife with well worn tropes such as:
- enemies to (oft times reluctant) lovers
- a prophecy/curse binding our vicious star-crossed lovers to one another
- poor girl plucked from the streets & raised up to a position of power
- spiky marshmallow prince... prickly on the outside, mushy on the inside
- courtly machinations
- Cinderella(esque) tale- although there were shout outs to various fairytales peppered throughout. Ie: " spin me gold"- Cyrus
- masquerade ball to find the prince a bride
- BETRAYAL!!
- wickity wicked witches doing nefarious, questionable deeds
-- There are probably more but I'm tired of wracking my brain, trying to remember them all with a sleep deprived noggin.
Anyway...
Although I appreciate the fact that to have an enemies--> lovers trope there must be hate and vileness at the start but Violet was truly hard to cheer for the entire time. I really wanted to get behind her and have her end up with the prince but why?? She was an ass at every turn and to be honest... he deserved SOOO much better. Not liking/respecting/caring for an MC is a literary injustice that's hard to ignore. It is lucky that Gina Chen made up for that faux pas by making her other MC, Cyrus plus her secondary and even tertiary characters much more likeable/relateable.
And then there was the chemistry (or lack thereof) between the two MCs. Again, I get that the enemies to lovers trope needs to have bouts of mean malicious interactions BUT it takes finesse to craft this trope in order to make it believable. At some point we should eventually get to the part where they are... you know... no longer enemies... now lovers... you know, like kind of civil/amorous or even plain old nice to one another. Because this never fully materialized, the few sexual collisions they had felt off/disingenuous... yet another literary flaw.
Comparing this to The Cruel Prince was an extremely bold declaration... one of which this book had no right to claim. Yes the writing was solid, the background building was decent and the character development was the highlight. BUT it's the venerated Mrs. Holly Black's Folk Of The Air series we're talking about... books whose characters were so on point, redolent, and endearing that they stick in your head (and heart) WAAAY past the time the book covers finally kiss once more.
Overall:
This book started out strong but the end was flat and felt rushed. I'm really not a fan of:
- forced chemistry between MCs
- unrelateable/unlikeable MC
- poor pacing
- an overhyped book that falls short of its boasting claims
Although my review points out a few major issues that normally niggle and irk me, the overall truth is that I did really enjoy my time in this unique world with these decently crafted characters (minus Violet, she could take a long walk off a short pier, never to be seen again... no search party necessary). What was this fable's ultimate flaw you might be wondering?? Well... it shot itself in the foot by likening itself to an immensely popular, highly acclaimed book written by an undeniably esteemed author who can (seemingly) do no wrong AND then failing to come through with the goods in the end. I was (not so) patiently awaiting this book's release AND when it came up shy of the claims, I was bummed and the rating reflects that. That being said, this still turned out to be an addictive listen where the orator performed admirably and I found myself needing to know what happened next which is the penultimate sign of the book's worth. The ending was a little lackluster and ho-hum but it did wrap up some of the major plot points while leaving some wiggle room for another book to jump off from.
In the end I will definitely be looking out for book #2 and I think that if you are a fan of trope heavy, Magically Realistic Fantasy and most importantly, a lover of Fairytales, then this is one that should be on your radar and put on top of your teetering TBR... just don't hold your breath expecting to see Cardan and Jude.
