Kelsey is your normal clumsy teen, but also Princess of the fairytales her Mother spun. Rellainia exists just not as the happy land which her mother idyllically spoke of. This book is action packed and fantasy full. Hopefully there will be another to follow as I was left with a lot of questions after reading this.

This is basically almost every fantasy world out there. Normal girl dumped into this new world? Check. Normal girl who happens to be royalty? Check. The only thing unusual was that the mother was alive. But really, Kelsey is boring, and utterly useless. She does nothing, and she is gifted. Do I want to read about someone like her? No.
I gave up at 70% since I didn’t want to suffer through the last 30%. Again, this book lacks almost anything that stands out. And again that it fails to bring anything unqiue or interesting to the fantasy genre. Same set of characters, girl who doesn’t know who she is. Some prince whose name I can’t even bothered to remember. And a bunch of utterly unoriginal characters.
There is no charm in this book, I can’t even keep myself reading at all. And hence, I’m dropping this book at this percentage. Because I don’t give a damn for any of the stakes here or the characters. The Queen did have some potential, but it was so wasted since Kelsey was the main character and well, frankly she’s boring.
My recommendation, read this if you’re new to the genre or don’t really get tired of reading the same thing. I am tired of reading this, and that is really why I cannot finish this book, there isn’t really anything wrong with, it just wasn’t to my taste.

DNF @ 33% - Writing and plot are super immature, characters two dimensional and underdeveloped. Nothing likeable about it.

Mini review:
DNF
I received this E-ARC via the publisher and Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. A friend of mine just finished this. It looked good so I requested it. Unfortunately it wasn't for me.
While the plot was somewhat engaging the many point of views switch was odd. Also it was so fast paced you didn't even get to really know any of the characters.
Still recommend.

Thank you to Netgalley and Sands Press for giving me the opportunity to read this novel!
There were many errors and misused words in the novel (using "manor" instead of "manner"). I would have thought that it would have been corrected, but it apparently had not been.
The pacing was too fast and did not allow for true character development to occur. The romance between Liam and Kelsey was rushed and didn't feel realistic at all. The characters did not seem to be real or life like at all. I found myself rolling my eyes at the grand gestures that the king would make so that he sounded more like an evil king. He would throw people across the room and it was almost comical. That's not how an evil king would act.
The writing seemed weak, you can definitely tell that this is the author's first novel. It could have used a few more eyes to look over it before it is published.
