Heart of the Raven Prince: A Cinderella Retelling (Entangled with Fae)

Product Information

ANyway, good story, and now I'm probably going to ruin my social life (again) by reading the other two books in this not-series. I don't know if I should dive into the next book of this series or stop what I'm doing and watch some Disney movies. But if you would like to read all books set in Faerwyvae, be sure to check out The Fair Isle Trilogy and Curse of the Wolf King. I suppose I had a crush on them both for a time, but Evelyn was someone I think I could have been happy with.

Banter, tension, pining, sososososo much chemistry, cute and adorable moments, a deep connection between the characters and a perfect outcome! Despite being nice to see Ember taking charge of her life and doing everything possible to break free, Franco felt short. It’s just so good and I highly recommend it to anyone who loves romancy books, because this is the perfect combination of romance and fantasy! With each new scheme thrown at her by her stepmother, Ember yearns for her freedom and a chance to leave her family behind. And Franco reminded me a little too much of Rhys (ACoTaR) but every dark-haired, tattooed, fae-male, with black wings reminds me of Rhys.Always repressed and always blamed for the murder of her father, Ember has been kept in the shadows and held for her inheritance.

If you like slow burn romance, fake engagements, and snarky fae royals, then you’ll love this swoon-worthy story in the Entangled with Fae series. But when her stepmother sets her eye on Franco, the Lunar prince, and wants to use the Social Season as a means to marry off her eldest daughter, Imogen, Ember finds herself even more entangled in her stepmother's schemes. Both characters had a lot of obstacles and doubt that initially made it difficult to understand and like each other, especially as Ember is limited in things she can say due to the constraints of her previous bargains and Franco had a tendency to hold back and not correct incorrect assumptions.The Entangled with the Fae series continues onto it’s next retelling, bringing Cinderella to life in all of its Fae glory. The 'enemies to lovers' banter felt pretty lame when they fell so deeply in love in just the span of 14 days.

Heart of the Raven Prince is a complete stand-alone novel set in the same world as The Fair Isle Trilogy.They had their insecurities and doubts, but, through each other, they could accept or overcome them, in a way that shows how any real relationship should be: full of mutual support and encouragements. I will honestly say I went into this book because of this phrase “ ACOTAR meets Bridgerton in this standalone fairytale retelling of Cinderella“. Circumstances strengthen the string of fate and Ember finds herself in yet again another bargain where she has to pretend to be the royal princess and court Franco. If you are left behind or without the gown I’ve gifted you, the tickets will turn to ice and shatter, rendering them useless. While there’s absolutely nothing wrong with protagonists who’ve gotten themselves into a fix, we’ve seen that so much that we forget that another way exists.

This was a great Cinderella retelling, set in the same world as The Fair Isle Trilogy, the action happening 21 years later. On the other hand, Franco's sister decides the take her brother's love life in her hands and persuades her brother to court the princess of Sea land. When she isn’t writing, she’s watching dog videos or having dance parties in the kitchen with her daughter. The Shatter Me series is definitely one of my favorites and it’s so different from my usual kind of read. I've already loved this world for some time now, but the characters, reveals, personal growth and HEA ending were my favorite parts.I liked 3/4 of this book very much, the main character did something I didn’t like and then a side character did something stupid. Until then, all she has to do is wear the glamour, pretend to court the prince, and above all else, not fall in love.
