A review by arinreads
A Corruption of Souls by Taylor Hubbard
4.0
(3,5 stars)
i got an arc directly from taylor in exchange for a review, so here we are !!
light on the world-building, heavy on the romance, this book was a fast and enjoyable read! i was a bit contlicted about the dynamic between the mcs but mostly bcos i have sort of a hang up about age differences, so that took some time to get used to. by the final chapters i just wanted those two to be okay, and the rest didn't matter (also the final chapters were fire, ngl)
the thing i liked most was probably a sort-of unique take on a prince who has to fulfill his duty to the realm. while at first kai seemed sort of too sheltered and a little irresponsible, i grew to admire his will to stand up for himself and protect his own freedom. it's not something you usually get in a royal so it was fun to see someone act differently!
im also quite intrigued by declyn's faith, i would've like to know more about the religion(s?) of this universe, as well as the universe itself. overall, i think that was quite a debut, and i hope it only gets better from here on !! will definitely try to be there when the sequel drops
