Hey there bookworms! How was weekend for you? Have you read anything good? . Today I’ll write the mini-review of “The Kiss of Deception” by Mary E. Pearson. But first, for yesterday’s prompts we had: • #CourtOfReading by @mariannareads_ : #SockSunday . • #BookBookOwlFruityFebruary by @bookbookowl : Wine: A book with festivities. • #RFABFeb21 by @reviews_from_a_bookworm : #ShelfieSunday . This book had one festivity that took many days, so it counts too. . The Kiss of Deception is the first book in “The Remnant Chronicles” trilogy. I gave it 4 stars, but I really liked it. We see the Point of View of princess Arabella, or Lia, how she calls herself. In order for her father’s kingdom Morrighan to unite with the Dallbreck kingdom, she is forced to marry the Dallbreck prince. But a night before leaving, she run away with a servant, Pauline, that is also her best friend. They go to a nice little village where Pauline used to live before and she starts a new life. Until the prince (which we see the perspective of at times) and also an assassin from Venda (which perspective we also see at times) happen to be there as well. It’s interesting how things turn out, but I think I had too high expectations from the twists in this book, and they weren’t that mindblowing as I thought, because I’ve already figured a few things out. But that didn’t ruined my pleasure for this book. The ending was a little disappointing, because at one point it was exciting and things started to happen in a much more intense way, and then it decreased again, ending in a more exciting but confusing way, leaving out with a few unanswered questions. So yeah, I need the second book to see what happens next. P.S. : The book has a map, some poetry that you will see the meaning of later, and a few stories that will also make sense later. . Let me know if you’ve read this book, how did you like it and what impressions it left you with. No spoilers, please. . #bookstagramchallenges #shelfie #thekissofdeception #greencover #booksandsocks #library #books #pixlr #bookstagram #bookmap #fantasy #theremnantchronicles https://www.instagram.com/p/CLlqt20gHr3/?igshid=1npmxk8k33i8j
