A Captivating Fantasy!
At first, I was worried that this book would not be able to live up to its absolutely wonderful prequel, but THIS DUOLOGY FOREVER HAS MY HEART!! The Princess Knight was the perfect ending to its stunning prequel!! There was sibling relationships, an enemies-to-lovers romance, a fantastic plot and storyline, a super descriptive setting, need I even go on? The chemistry between Quinn and Gemma, even while they were enemies, and still while they were lovers was gripping. The sibling relationships between all of Gemma’s brothers and sisters (including Gemma of course), was relatable and got you hooked. Literally. I couldn’t stop reading. Although some of them fought a lot, you could see through their actions and words how much they really cared about each other. The romance between Gemma and Quinn was flawless, and I’m so glad that in this book we saw so much more of each of the supporting characters. There was literally nothing wrong with this book. I just wished that we could have seen a bit more of Caid and Laila, and I didn’t love Keeley’s character development. It wasn’t bad, but in a few scenes, she was a bit too grumpy and moody for my taste. And Quinn, Quinn, Quin, where do I even start with you? This book has a ton of blood, guts, war, and gore, but I still found myself laughing until I got hiccups, all because of Quinn – he is hands down THE MOST hilarious character I have read about. It’s not like Aiken is trying too hard, or that Quinn is the “class clown” – but his attitude towards life, his relationships with his friends and family, and just the way he communicates with them will have you laughing. Quinn is my spirit animal, and precious morally grey centaurs are now my thing 🥺🥺
