Sapphire and Steel: The False Princess and the Warrior Jarl by Violet Froste
4.0
I received this book for free from Voracious Readers Only in exchange for an honest review.
I’d like to start by saying WOW! I did not expect to end up seriously enjoying this book as much as I did. I have got to say that this book contains some well-developed characters for a short fantasy book. I loved everything about them - their dialogue, the relationships (both platonic and romantic), as well as the inner workings of the characters and what makes them act as they do.
The main female lead -Aster- is headstrong and utterly determined, but she doesn’t come off as inherently rude for no reason or rash just for the sake to prove that she is a strong female lead.
The plot itself is simple, but executed in a way that made it so much fun to read.
If you’re a fan of steamy adult romances, then I would highly recommend this book. It has a good balance between fantasy and romance so that one does not strongly out way the other.
My only criticism would be that I wish I saw more action from Aster throughout the book rather than just at the beginning and at the end.
Overall, really enjoyed it.
4/5 ⭐️
