While she struggles to reach Morrighan and warn them, she finds herself at cross-purposes with Rafe and suspicious of Kaden, who has hunted her down. Like this we knew everything before it even was revealed BECAUSE WE FOUND OUT ABOUT IT ALREADY IN THE DIFFERENT POV! The Remnant Chronicles is a trilogy comprised of The Kiss of Deception, The Heart of Betrayal, and The Beauty of Darkness, written by Mary E.

Lia: Let's run away after completely ruining a centuries-old gown and completely disregarding all tradition! As she's adapting to her new life, she meets two guys, Rafe and Kaden, one of them is an assassin sent to kill her and the other is the prince she was supposed to marry; however, we don't know who's who. It's full of adventure, romance, and betrayal, all of which obviously make it a captivating fantasy novel.It follows Lia a young princess betrothed to a prince she’s never met before from a far away kingdom. As First Daughter, she is expected to have the revered gift of sight - but she doesn't - and she knows her parents are perpetrating a sham when they arrange her marriage to secure an alliance with a neighboring kingdom - to a prince she has never met. Yes it's beautiful BUT I hate when there's a person on the covers then they don't match the character descriptions. im all for the whole runaway princess trope, but i wasnt really connecting with this particular princess.

By the end of the book I was so enticed that I read the second book straight after because I needed to know what happened next. The scene where Lia witnesses the murder of her brother and then buries his and his soldiers’ bodies, for example. swoon especially one of them *wink wink*) Okay, okay I wont do that to you, I'll try to give you a little more. Lia is a strong character who decides she wants to live life her way and runs away with Pauline on her wedding day. What an incredibly beautiful fantasy read with well developed world building, honor, loyalty, love, deception and romance!Kiss of Deception is a story about a princess, Lia, who seeks a life outside that of royalty; a life in which she finally has control and is not forced to do something just because it is expected of her. Granted, I'm now craving some sequels like never before, but I survived the waiting with The Girl of Fire and Thrones series, and I know I'll survive this wait, too.

I mean, if you liked this book, good for you, truly, because I'd never wish on anyone the same feelings I had while reading this. I also did not really care much for any of the characters, and I felt the worldbuilding (even though it had some cool ideas) was quite shallow, especially where it shouldn't, like, huh, politics? He has hundreds of opportunities to assassinate Lia but he doesn't because he's too busy going googly-eyed and thinking about kissing her.

Shattering dreams and forging new ones is my guilty pleasure and when a girl manages to accomplish that by fleeing on her wedding day, to say that I'm completely enraptured would be an understatement. The escape itself is also very vague because I guess it would be inconvenient to have to explain how a princess who is kept on a very tight leash manages to escape a supposedly heavily-guarded palace. It was all very confusing infused with old legends and explained in made-up languages, so I hope in the next books it becomes more clear about the powers! I kept reading the same scenes over and over again and fully forgot I was reading a fantasy book because nothing fantastical was happening. Were they looking outside of their own personal feelings about love-triangles or female main characters as they read?

Lia is said it have dark hair and the girl on the cover has dirty blonde hair and 2) I felt at some point the writing was a little repetitive and felt like it was just used to fill up some space. As First Daughter, she is expected to have the revered gift of sight--but she doesn't--and she knows her parents are perpetrating a sham when they arrange her marriage to secure an alliance with a neighboring kingdom--to a prince she has never met.

Pearson is the author of many novels for teens, including Dance of Thieves , the Remnant Chronicles, and the acclaimed Jenna Fox Chronicles. She's so predictable that I can guess every thing that comes out of her mouth, and I'm alarmingly good at it. She’s flawed, stubborn, still not at her peak of matureness, and she’s definitely not another ass-kicking, shade-throwing, chosen one, but she knows her stuff. I'd recommend this book to anyone who isn't a termagant like I am, who thinks it's ridiculous to place the responsibilities of two kingdoms on the shoulders of a teenager. I must congratulate him because he is certainly one of the most incompetent assassins I've ever read about.
