Throughout the first book, he was sweet and kind which made it seem like he was the prince when he was actually the assassin. And when he practically locked Lia away to ‘protect her’ he could practically be compared to Tamlin from ACOTAR. I feel like he didn’t have too much of a personality or backstory.
But he just seemed like a typical over-protective alpha male. I do like how Pearson made it out as if he were the assassin in the first book and Kaden the prince.
She only annoyed me when she was winning over Rafe. Her character development was pretty great too. She held strong on her beliefs and tried to protect others over herself. Pearson succeeded in creating a decent female protagonist which some authors struggle to do. Now, let’s talk about the characters… Lia Most people would remember the prophecy-like Song of Venda and it didn’t need to be repeated almost every chapter. I did say previously that I enjoyed the snippets from The Song of Venda, but they were repeated a little too much. I guess the third book was more interesting as they travelled through the three main kingdoms and prepared to stop a war. And the second book was set entirely in the kingdom of Venda. The first book was basically set in two locations, the first a slow-paced tavern and then her journey across the Cam Lanteux. I did like the snippets from The Last Testaments of Gaudrel, The Song of Venda, and so on at the beginning of almost every chapter as it gave more insight into how the kingdoms came to be.īut I didn’t really enjoy or understand the plot and storyline. She also did a great job at portraying emotions and feelings and I was clearly able to picture most scenes in my mind. She did well at world-building and I was clearly able to see how each kingdom looked and what their morals and values were. But I hate to say that I was quite disappointed. I had really high hopes as I’d seen a lot of positive reviews surrounding the books.
This plot of the first book enticed me enough to go ahead and order the entire trilogy (The Kiss of Deception, The Heart of Betrayal, and The Beauty of Darkness). She runs from her duty and unknowingly meets up with the prince she was meant to marry and an assassin sent from another kingdom to kill her. She is also believed to have ‘the gift’, a magical sight-seeing element passed through blood. The Remnant Chronicles follows Princess Lia, the first daughter of Morrighan who is being forced to marry a prince from a neighbouring kingdom who she has never met.
