The Veiled Kingdom Book Review

The Veiled Kingdom Book Summary From Goodreads

A scorching new fantasy romance that ignites the pages with relentless danger, forbidden passion, and the intoxicating allure of enemies to lovers.

Fleeing my father’s cruelty, the wicked king who robbed me of a future, I face death in the streets, caught between a rebellion and a tyrant’s reign.

Captured by those sworn to kill me, the rebels remain blind to my true identity—the missing daughter of the despised king. Faced with an impossible choice, I stand before them: join the rebels or face their blades.

Yet, Dacre, the son of the ruthless rebellion commander, becomes torn between suspicion and a desire that mirrors my own. He allows no one to touch me, tries to protect me, yet threatens me at every turn.

As secrets are weaved beyond our hidden realm, a fierce battle unfolds within me. As I get closer to the rebels, and their cause, my loyalty to my kingdom clashes with my undeniable devotion to Dacre and the burning connection between us.

In a world where love and hate are two edges of the same blade, I find myself caught in a delicate dance between forbidden desire and my looming destiny.

My Thoughts on The Veiled Kingdom

Oh MY!

This book was a combo of action, magic, mystery and lust, but it has some unexpected parts that really have you hurting. It’s a relatively short book and is fast paced, which I completely devoured. Literally, I didn’t put down this book and read it in a day.

Basically she escaped life from the castle and is a princess, and she’s been on the run living on the streets. He’s the son of a rebel leader. She joins the rebellion, but he doesn’t trust her even though he’s falling for her.

Throughout the book he trains her and gets closer to her because he’s trying to figure her out, but he gets attached and possessive, but still doesn’t trust her. And she’s rooming with his sister and she’s never had a friend before, so her life has totally been flipped upside down since escaping the castle, living on the streets, and now finding herself living in the hidden city.

And then there was the ending…….

I was blindsided by the feeling that it invoked in me….

The HATE. The author has a way of making us feel his hated, and her hurt and shame. I don’t know if I’ve ever felt it so much in a book before.

It’s been about a month since I’ve read the book, and everytime I think about the ending it still hurts so bad.

My body still physically cringes when I think about it.

I still give it 5 stars, but mentally, this ending could make you want to go to therapy.
