This week I’m diving into the brand new romantasy Warrior Princess Assassin by Brigid Kemmerer, a sweeping fantasy full of danger, betrayal, and uneasy alliances.

The story starts off as the tale of two people marrying for political gain, to merge their two kingdoms, both of which are in danger. Slowly, the story develops: a perilous journey, assassination attempts, political intrigue, palace secrets. Trust becomes as valuable as survival. It’s an adventure laced with romance, loyalty, and the constant threat of blades in the dark.

In this episode, I’ll be sharing my thoughts on how the story unfolds, from the complex palace relationships, the anger and frustration, the jealousy and the tension of life on the road as talks of peace break down and accusations are made.

As always, I remain spoiler-free and always honest. I'll be talking about the characters, the fantasy, the romance and the tropes, and all without straying from the family-friendly path or revealing any huge spoilers.

And if that weren’t enough, I’ll also be giving a shorter review of Finding Mr. Write by Kelley Armstrong, a romantic comedy full of witty banter, false identities, and the delightful chaos of love turning up where you least expect it.

So, if you’re after a mix of fantasy adventure and light-hearted romance, make yourself a cuppa, get comfortable, and let’s talk books.
