This is a pretty big assumption to make! I don’t solely read fantasy romances, I’ve read plenty of other fiction genres and picked it up because it sounded interesting and I had seen rave reviews about it. For me it was absolutely terrible and I couldn’t wait for it to be over. The lack of punctuation was the cherry on top. Food for thought- you are allowed to have different reading preferences without being rude and condescending to others in the process.

I read False Prince around the same time as I read Demon King by Cinda Williams Chima! I'm a mood reader and they both fit the same reading mood I was in at the same time, so my brain groups them together. Demon King is the first in a 4 book YA fantasy series called Seven Realms, I think is the series name. Dance of Thieves I believe is a spin off of The Kiss of Deception series, so if you haven't read that, definitely do! I loved the series, solid 4 star series for me. I've been meaning to pick up Dance of Thieves, but I haven't been in a YA mood for a while, so I'm hoping to read the duology this year!

@@Kendallsreads I see your point with the glossary, that was hard for me too, especially since I read it in kindle. The only 'wtf?' part for me was when Raeve was kidnapped by those strange mountain men who wanted her to have children. That was off. But it was something I was willing to trade, because I fell in love with it very quickly. The dragons, the magic system, the world itself. When we read about how Elluin's brother's dragon curled up in the sky, and that is also Raeve's favorite moon, that was the first time I started suspecting there was some connection between them, but it still suprised me to find out they are the same. I mean, I could have guessed it, but I didn't. 😄 I'm really looking forward to the next book, I have a feeling more and more people will find out, that princess Kyzari is actually Kaan's daughter. I wonder if Kaan knows.
