About this listen

When her father surrenders to an invading kingdom, Amarylla doesn't realize she's part of the treaty until it's too late. Drugged to prevent resistance, she's swept away to the dark, tortured kingdom of Terelaus, where she is forced to marry the Fiend Prince. When Amarylla holds a dagger to his throat on their wedding night, she and the Prince come to a tenuous arrangement of their own. But he may not be the greatest danger lurking in the Cursed Palace.

Was very enjoyable and I liked that the romance started slow and was focused solely on physical appearance, I recommend it

I went into this book with very few expectations and came away genuinely pleased. It was an easy, engaging read that pulled me in quickly, and while the world-building wasn’t as detailed as I might usually prefer, I could still get a clear sense of the setting and stakes. Given the shorter length, it makes sense that some elements weren’t as deeply explored, and I’m hopeful the next in the series will expand on the world even further because there’s definitely a strong foundation here.
The enemies-to-lovers dynamic was a real highlight for me; it’s always a favourite trope, and this book delivered it in a really satisfying way. The Fiend Prince may not fit the typical mold of a male main character, but he absolutely carried that energy, which is a testament to the author’s writing. Amarylla was also a very likeable protagonist. You could see the beginnings of a strong FMC in her, and while her character depth wasn’t fully fleshed out (again, likely due to the book’s length), I still found myself rooting for her throughout.
There were moments in the story — particularly involving the king — that genuinely shocked me with their cruelty, and they did exactly what they were meant to do; make me hate him. The pacing did speed up toward the end, and it felt like the story wrapped a little too quickly, but I still thoroughly enjoyed the journey. It’s one of those books I can look back on fondly, especially because it offered a slightly different twist on familiar plot line. I’m definitely interested in reading the next book in the series by the author.
