Fun retelling
Prince Erich has been tasked with transporting the dangerous maji prisoner to the capital of the five kingdoms. Thankfully a powerful necklace has bound her voice or else she'd be able to curse him – or worse.Aizel has only ever known the life of a slave. Feared for their magic, her people had been exiled for 250 years. But the others have spread their lives far too long, and Aizel decided to escape. her copter seems like a reasonable guy – if only she could speak to tell him the truth.With each book in this series, Deady ramps up the stakes. We're starting to get a better picture of who the bad guys are, and it's rather mind-blowing.This is definitely an enemies-to lovers story. The relationship felt a little forced in places, but in the end I loved how adorable they were together. It was fun to watch them come to trust each other.“I don't need you to be perfect. I just need you to be by my side, standing next to me and fighting with me. Forever.”This quote perfectly sums up their relationship and how they've moved past their prejudices to love each other.Spoiler: I was slightly disappointed in the elopement as it didn't feel true to Erich. He's a dandy, so the big wedding would have fit better.

Pearl of Magic
Pearl of Magic was my favorite book so far in this series!! XD It was just so amazing and perfect, my only complaint was that the romance went from growing to "let's get married" really fast in the last couple of chapters. But besides that it was great!The plot was just so intriguing and cool, I loved getting to know more about the Majis and that there's more going on than thought in the previous two books.I loved the characters so much. Aizel was such a cool protagonist, I loved her spirit and love for her sister. I liked seeing how even though Erich comes off as flippant and carefree, he's really not. He just acts like that because if he acted mature like he was, he'd be invisible next to his older brothers. I really liked him in Thorn of Rose and was excited to read his story.I really liked Robin from what we could see of her in this book, and am so sad that her book isn't until after the next one, which comes out in June. And the next book, ahh I want to read it so bad, but again, it's not out yet!Emily Deady is an incredible author and I'm so glad I found her. I 100% recommend reading her Fairy Tale Royals series if you like clean fairytale retellings with romance, humor, and awesome plots.

Such a great read! Didn't want to stop!
I loved this book for its suspenseful plot and heartwarming characters!This book continued to build in the world that was created in the first two books! It was fun to find out more details about the war and what was really going on. There's also a lot of fun and heartwarming surprises at the end!I highly recommend it!

Thoroughly enjoyable read
I don't normally love Little Mermaid retellings because I usually have trouble relating to the Ariel character. However, I loved how this book had just enough elements of Little Mermaid to make it clear what the story was based on while adding enough plot to make Aizel a compelling character. Erich was a bit annoying because he kept trusting everyone, but that was part of his character development, so it still made sense.It was also nice to have this story really move the overall series arc forward. We've known since the first book that there was more to the Majis than those characters knew, so it was nice to get to know them as well as to see more world-building and finally get a feeling for what kind of antagonists the characters are dealing with. I'm excited to see the magic system continue to be developed as it feels like we've just seen the tip of the iceberg so far.If you enjoy light-hearted and clean fairytale retellings, this is definitely going to be a pleaser.
