Review: The Emerald Prince by Kayci Morgan

This was actually my first book by this Author so I guess there was going to be a few misses in reading some of her books before I became or become familiar with her writing.
Still, I really wished I could have liked it more. I loved the blurb of it....

Well, in any case. Here is my review and buy links in case you'd like to give it a try.

Really, DO NOT TAKE MY REVIEW TO HEART. This is only my own personal opinion on it. EVERYONE has different taste so whereas I couldn't really get into it, YOU could freaking love it!

I would say to give it a try if you really want to.

In a kingdom faced with civil war, an idealistic prince must abandon the foreign princess he desires for an arranged marriage to an influential knight. Together, the prince and knight travel north to deal with an army marching on the kingdom’s borders, only to discover the biggest threat to the crown is the princess they left behind. 

Prince Elliot had everything—wealth, power, the love of a beautiful woman. It wasn’t enough. More than anything he wanted to prove himself worthy of his crown. When negotiations for his sister's arranged marriage to Sir Blaine fell apart, he was asked to take her place and marry the knight. 

Sir Blaine was adored throughout the kingdom for his strategic mind and feats of bravery. He was rewarded with the greatest gift a king could offer a knight—the princess’s hand in marriage. 

But Blaine found the brazen Prince Elliot far more enticing.

PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THAT THIS IS COMPLETELY MY OWN PERSONAL OPINION.

I have really mixed feelings about this because overall, I enjoyed the story. But I guess the delivery fell flat? I don't quite know how to put it, simply that it was missing that 'something' that completely grabs you into the story. I had a hard time finishing it because I just wasn't as enraptured by the story as I hoped I would be.

So, was I disappointing from what I read in the description to what I read? Yes, a little.

But the book overall was enjoyable.

The things that bothered me most was how it changed from POV.
However, in actuality it was essential to have those different POV but it didn't stop it from being annoying. I don't know if there could have been another way for her to execute it or write it but the fact is I wasn't able to really enjoy it.

Be warned, for those of you that hate this trope(And I know lots of people that do), this story is a bit clichéd in that it has that female villain  who wants to rule so she tries to crush everyone in her way to do it. An Enchantress.

Well, in the end, I don't regret reading it at all. I will pick up another book from this author. ;)

  1. Great review loveless. The delivery is one of the most important things. If you don't nail it, it will throw the whole book off.
