Kaitlyn‘s review of Princess of Souls (Hundred Kingdoms, Book 2) by Alexandra Christo
Fantasy Romance published by Feiwel & Friends 11 Oct 22
This is such a great fantasy standalone. I love Selestra and Nox and getting to watch their story unfold.
I was afraid this would feel too short, but I was extremely satisfied with the pacing and how things ended. There were a few times I was slightly confused by the history and magic system, but the fast-paced plot and character growth kept me glued to the story.
I highly recommend this book, if you’re looking for a quick fantasy standalone to binge. I really enjoyed everything about it!
Grade: A+
Summary:
For sixteen years, Selestra has been trapped in her tower on the Floating Mountain, preparing to take her mother’s place as the King’s Witch, who foretells deaths in the Festival of Predictions. Outrunning your fate earns a wish and the chance to steal the King’s immortality. But die and your soul is forfeit. And though thousands have tried, nobody has ever beaten death.
A soldier in the King’s army, Nox is an unlikely candidate for the Festival, but, driven by revenge, he is determined to steal the King’s immortality and kill the entirety of his court, starting with Selestra.
Yet when Selestra touches Nox in her very first prediction, their fates become entwined, and death seeks to take both their souls. Only by working together can they survive long enough to escape the dark fate and the immortal King that now hunts them.
