![]() She is tasked with going to this vile pit of a kingdom to see if the Mad King's offer of marriage is legit. The heroine is an orphan who was taken in by the King of the magic friendly kingdom. He finds himself intrigued with the princess as each day passes and can't help but feel connected to her. He has been tasked to protect/spy on a visiting princess from a nation with magic. Raven is under such a deep compulsion that he can't refuse any orders, luckily he has some loopholes when the King is not clear in his wording which opens it up for his interpretation. The Mountain, called Raven in this book, is a someone who has been imprisoned by a paranoid king with a very obsessive hatred for anything magic. It shows how unimaginative I've been because I never thought such a story would be enjoyable. ![]() If you've ever imagined a scenario starring The Mountain as the love interest then you might be interested in this book. I guess this is a good book if you are looking for something short (even though it felt long at times), sweet, simple, and predictable. There is definitely room for more development, but I am not sure yet if I will continue on with this series. I kept waiting for something unexpected or something juicy to happen, but overall, the book felt long even if it’s only 300 pages. Nothing is really bad about this book, but I found it a little bland, maybe because so many things were predictable. There are some action scenes in this story, and I liked the concept of mirror magic, but the rest of the story: the general plot, the romance, and the side characters were quite predictable. Once she arrives at Garimore, she is separated from her ladies in waiting and her honorific guard, only to be placed under the guard of the king’s personal bodyguard, the Raven, who is known to be a ruthless and very efficient assassin. This is a dangerous mission because the neighbor king despises mages and because Leisa has apparently no skills at diplomacy and politics. For the sake of her kingdom, and because the king ordered it, she must masquerade as the magicless princess of Farhall and go to the neighboring country to negotiate a marriage alliance. Leisa is a mage with the ability to change her appearance.
