The Heir
Frost Kay
2/5
This is the third book in the Twisted Kingdoms series, I don't think it's the last one because two random POVs were introduced but we definitely get some closure on Tempest's story- however abrupt that closure was. Tempest starts the book engaged to her enemy, it's a dangerous position for her to be in but she's doing it to better the lives of those around her. She can't help but regret her choices though as she finds her well-being and safety constantly on the line.
So I was hesitant to call the first books in the series enemies to lovers just because there was so little real interactions between the protagonists. It's like the author finally realized that in this book and decided to do a whole 180 and dive deep into that whole overprotective alpha male thing that YA loves so much. Which doesn't really work on the premise of the other books, he considered her a dangerous enemy to the point that he might try to murder her to silence her as a threat but then he's like oops just kidding she's a maiden in need of protecting. I just didn't vibe with it all that much.
It felt like everything that was so hyped up in the previous books was just kind of closed in the last twenty pages. Her father? Resolved just like that. The kingdom? Placed into safe hands in the blink of an eye. I just wanted more than this book was giving me. It wasn't the worst thing to read it was just a lot of dropped plot lines and failed expectations.
