But I like the word, the magic system and the characters.

I think each of the books could have been condescended to make everything a little faster-paced. I’m glad it was a trilogy because any longer would be too much. It was good and different compared to other fantasy series I’ve read. Overall I would give the series 3.5/5 stars. I think the book did a great job of wrapping up the book. It progressed the plot without being drawn out. Usually, I’m not a huge fan of wars and battles, but this one was the perfect length. The first half of the book was once again slow but the ending was great. The final book in the series is The Beauty of Darkness. I could see how this book was important to the overarching storyline but it was just a little slow for me. There was also a lot of lying and deception that I found a little difficult to follow. I’ve never been a fan of the captive trope and that was the majority of this novel. This was my least favourite book in the series. The second book in the series is The Heart of Betrayal. The plot was good just dragged a little for my liking. My only complaint was I found the book to be a little on the slow side. I enjoyed the world and liked how the magic system is much subtler compared to other fantasy novels. I enjoyed the first one! I liked the premise and it was fun to try and guess which character was the prince and which was the assassin.

The first book in the series is The Kiss of Deception. As the series progresses, Lia must work with the prince and assassin to save her kingdom.

In the first novel, both the prince and assassin have POV chapters, but we don’t know who is who until later in the novel. She runs away on her wedding day and is followed by the prince she left at the altar and an assassin who was sent out to kill her. The series is about Lia (which side note it’s weird to read a book with a character that has the same name – even though she spells it differently), who is a princess. Since I already owned the first book in the series I thought I would try it out. Pearson’s Dance of Thieves duology, which is set in the same universe as The Remnant Chronicles. I had been wanting to read a fantasy series and I had quite a few on my TBR.
