At sixteen years old, Selestra spends her days trapped in the king’s castle, awaiting her fate to become his next witch upon turning eighteen. Having always been told she is destined to follow in her mother’s footsteps of stealing souls to feed the king’s immortality, Selestra’s world is upended when she sees a prediction linking her death to that of Nox, a soldier in the king’s army. Selestra and Nox must join together to fight the king.
PRINCESS OF SOULS is a YA fantasy romance inspired by the tale of Rapunzel. I liked how the Rapunzel aspect was weaved into the book ever so slightly, giving a touch of influence to the story but ultimately allowing PRINCESS OF SOULS to have its own uniqueness. There’s a lovely map of The Six Isles at the beginning of the book. The world building was fantastic. I felt like I was on the journey with Selestra and Nox. The characters were well written. Being dual POV narration, there was insight into both Selestra’s and Nox’s thoughts. The romance was slow burn, enemies to lovers, and included playful banter throughout. The action and the fantasy world kept me turning pages.
I really enjoyed PRINCESS OF SOULS and would recommend to fans of YA fantasy romance. This is the first book I’ve read by this author. I plan to check out some of her other works.
Thank you to Feiwel and Friends for the finished copy.
