Amid Clouds and Bones, Ella Fields

Story Blurb

A princess is determined to survive an arranged marriage to a heartless fae prince in this standalone enemies to lovers fantasy romance.

As the half faerie daughter of a human king, my days were spent tucked out of sight—until the Seelie Fae sought an alliance with our kingdom. In exchange for my father’s help in defeating their Unseelie enemies, I would wed Atakan the heartless.

The Seelie prince loathed everyone, but none more than me. Throughout the years leading to our nuptials, each encounter grew more terrifying than the last as he demonstrated how he’d earned his infamous reputation.

Fear would only doom me faster. So I learned to hide it with games I soon became happy to play. I wasn’t supposed to crave a monster. But just when I’d thought I might tame the untameable, fate intervened.

And delivered me straight to his enemy.

My Thoughts/Opinion

Whew! This book was a dark edge of enemies to lovers. So much so that at times, I wasn't certain that love was endgame. This is a standalone romantasy which is exactly what I was looking for when I picked it up. Although there is a LOT that happens in this story, and some others panned it for the whiplash it gave them, I found the story to be both interesting and entertaining. Don't look too deeply for story theme or incredible, stay-with-you writing, but if you're looking for a romantasy world that will take you on a thrill-ride and keep you in suspense til the very end, you might want to pick this one up. I enjoyed it a lot!
