The Fae Princess of Night. The Prince of the Underworld. The marriage that could destroy them both. Euthalia may have been born a princess, but she knows what she truly is: a puppet. Her magic is a dark curse to all who look her in her eyes, but a boon to the power-hungry Lord of the Night. When he arranges her marriage to the prince of the Duat, she's scared- for the prince. Ahmed may be his father's only son, but he'll never be king. Instead, his birthright is bartered away for a bride, and he finds himself wed to a stranger. Worse still, a dark bargain requires that he creates a bond between and his bride, or else his life is forfeit. Shrouded by darkness and illuminated by stars, the Court of Night watches and waits as the tale unfolds. The cursed prince, the veiled bride, and the decision she must make. Flee for freedom and sentence her new husband to his doom, or remain by his side and bring death to all. Bound by Death is the tenth book in the Starry Kingdoms of the Fae Collection. These books are all standalones written by your favorite fantasy authors and are the perfect read for your summer vacation. Prepare to be swept away into magical worlds with tropes you obsess over and swoon-worthy romance. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |

Content:
The first thing I noticed about this book was the cover. And then the illustrations scattered throughout the novel. Both are quite detailed and added to the story.
Next, I liked how the book was divided into sections based on the types of love: storge, philo, eros, and agape. During each part, the term of the section was a central focus of the theme. The clear progression also helped with the character development as the couple got to know each other.
For those of you who like more descriptive and flowery writing, this book is perfect for you.
I went into this one mostly blind and did not realize how much of an influence mythology would have on the story. (Yes, I know that it is a retelling of a Greek myth but that often doesn't mean much for most retellings.)
And now for my only complaint: the ending. I will admit that I am not great when it comes to more intricate fantasy worlds. I like to keep the worldbuilding light and the plot simple. As such, I was slightly lost at the climax. I do not believe that this will have any negative impact for most other readers though.
All that said, I am glad that I gave this book a try and will be sure to read more by Jes Drew in the future.
