Rise of the Vicious Princess by C.J. Redwine

5.0

Rating: 4.5/5

I was so happy to find out that CJ Redwine was finally coming out with a book this year. I have been checking in for years because I have really enjoyed her other novels. This one did not disappoint!

Charis is such a strong, fierce princess to everyone around her because she has been raised to show no weakness. I loved watching her slowly trust her bodyguard, Tal, and start to show him her vulnerability. The forced proximity, forbidden love, slow burn tropes were done well.

There was lots of political intrigue and I enjoyed trying to figure out who the traitor was and the mystery surrounding the sinking ships. Everyone was suspicious!

I saw one of the twists coming, but was happily surprised I got it right. The ending was so crazy and I am dying to know what happens next!
