Dance of Kingdoms | Willow Quinn

Rating - 4 /5 ★★★★

My Review 

This book has a floaty, light-weighted, buttery smooth storyline and a slow-burning romance that begs one to read in one sitting. This book is a page-turner from the cover to the blurb to the plot.

Adelaide and Finnian kingdoms have been fighting with each other for the last eight years. After losing her love once, Adelaide waited for her glorious death at the hand of her despised enemy, Finnian. However, Finnian offers her the opportunity to save her people by marrying him and becoming his queen. Adelaide made a sacrifice. Now she must protect herself from Finnian and be wary of those who seek any vulnerability in her to bring her down.

There is a slow-burning romance with a lot of tension, and I am a sucker for it. The entire story is fast-paced, written in time jumps that never confuses me, and still manages to convey the intense and incredible chemistry between Adelaide and Finnian. The author beautifully recounts the impacts of the battle and their aftereffects in a short period of time. Apart from Adelaide and Finnian, I also liked Donovan, Hannah, and Edward. I'm waiting to read about them as well.

This book is purely a romantic story with a fantasy backdrop. I was expecting to read some more fantasy background in this book. It was present but not sufficient to please me, and the lack of an epilogue also hinted at it. Aside from that, this book is an excellent choice for a romantic read. The writing is too clear and straightforward for me to envision it. And the Finnian point of view is also a bonus, and the overall narrative kept me reading this novel with Adelaide and Finnian's post-marriage connection evolving.
