However, this also means that wishing for more high quality content often leaves me unsattisfied in the end: Some books are way to predictable others are simply not catchy and even great books are often too short so that they dont last long enough with me. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. its on the slower side and has a lot of info-dumps (the MC is thrust into a new world and the reader learns about it the same way she does - through dense history lessons), which i know are things that annoy some fantasy readers. It's not the first book like this I read and I loved the transition between these two worlds, it was so well written. She works for an underworld dangerous mafia boss although reluctantly, her expertness saves her from getting killed.

I enjoyed this book so much that I forced myself to slow down during the last 100 pages because I didn’t want it to end. La verdad es que iba con 0 expectativas con este libro, porque últimamente la fantasía se me hace algo “repetitiva”. Tucker introduces an intriguing world of elemental magic, gods, warring Elven kingdoms and political intrigue.I think the authors imagination is vast and she penned it imaginatively since I felt I was deep into this story. It was literally putting me to sleep… all the politics, history and world building bored me so much I actually took two naps while trying to get through this book (which is never a good sign) - but even though it took me a while to wrap my head around what was going on… once I did, I got pretty invested in the story and was intrigued enough to make it through all of the info dumping. And so, Romy takes on the role of Princess Romeira and play Islor's smitten Queen-to-be which brings her closer to the King who despises her with every fiber of his being. Romeria is forced to play the smitten princess as the unwilling pair work together to uncover the danger that surrounds them. Then she's approached by a beautiful, mysterious woman who comes for her, and soon she's trading one dangerous life for another as she's thrust into a new, ruthless world where she's the enemy.

I think that the plot had them (the leads) too focused on talking about politics, conspiracy theories, and figuring out who their enemies were that not much of their wit, charm, sense of humor, and true personality shone through.

Being thrown in a completely different world where Romy's lack of finesse and unusual colloquialisms was frowned upon, you can imagine it also was quite funny at times. At times there was a LOT of information to take in but I suspect that it will be relevant in the rest.
