![]() ![]() La princesa de las almas era un libro que tenía ganas de leer desde hacía tiempo.ĭe la autora ya había leído "Matar un reino" hacía unos cuantos años y lo había disfrutado mucho. The two of them are enemies so it is the enemies to lovers trope, but they weren’t every super great enemies, more like snarky. Enter Nox, the first petitioner that Selestra is to give a premonition to and nothing goes as planned. No one every tries beyond the wish stage. If they live the month they take the king’s immortality from him. The king has a tournament of sorts every year, people can gamble their lives to survive death by using a prophecy from the witch and if they live two weeks they get a wish. Selestra has spent most of her life locked in her tower not allowed much contact with anyone and only allowed the training the king wants to give her, but she has sought some of her own freedoms by sneaking out and training with a sword in secret, desperate to hold on to what freedoms she can. ![]() The king who feasts on his peoples souls and lives out their potential lives making himself immoral. They are the only magic left in the 6 isles and they are blood oathed at maturity to the king. ![]() Selestra was born to be a witch but until her 18th birthday she is just her mother’s heir. I haven’t read the other book set in this world, but I did think it was an interesting world. It made this a unique story in its own rights. I love fairy tale retellings and this one veered away from the traditional story a bit more than most but I liked that. ****Thank you Fierce Reads for a copy of this book! I would definitely recommend it if you like YA fantasy. I didn’t feel the book was too long but an appropriate length. Selestra’s personal journey to understanding more of herself and her family’s past was very intriguing and ultimately put the whole story in a different perspective. I enjoyed their growth from not necessarily enemies to lovers, but from mistrust to trust and a lot of encouragement towards each other. Their banter was great, and it is in fact illegal to write romance interests with no banter so I'm glad Christo got the memo. I thought they had great chemistry and especially in the beginning, I couldn’t wait for scenes they had to interact. Selestra’s life is illustrated as one of no freedom, and Nox is driven most of the story by revenge. It still had some references which came in unexpected ways and overall this book, with the world and characters, was a fun adventure. This is labeled as a retelling of Rapunzel but this felt pretty unique from Rapunzel's story. ![]()
