Review of Of Stormlarks and Silence by Constance Lopez

To kill the prince, she must first kill her heart.

Princess Riona was eight when the Revonian king murdered her family and conquered her kingdom with a mysterious magic. She has spent the last decade training—and waiting for her moment to avenge them all and reclaim her rightful title.

Now that the king is ailing, Riona secures a position within the Revonian royal palace. Her goals? Get close to the prince. Kill him. Uncover Revon’s secret magic. Make the king suffer. Only then can she take back her country.

But the closer she gets to the prince, the more he surprises her with kindness, honor, and wit. He is nothing like his cruel father. Worse yet, he sees right through to her heart. When she planned this assassination, her heart didn’t factor in.

And now it’s about to ruin all her plans.

Perfect for fans of Tara Grayce, Shari Tapscott, and Kenley Davidson, Of Stormlarks and Silence is a slow-burn clean YA romantic fantasy standalone in the Kasmian Chronicles, a series of romantic fantasy connected standalones.

I have been looking forward to reading this book for a while, and when I finally snagged my copy, I was not let down! If you're looking for a no-spice romantasy, this book delivers! It's more than just a beautiful cover.

I loved the characters and I loved their connections with each other.  Of course, Riona and the prince had such fun chemistry, throwing her plans to kill him into turmoil. But I also loved her relationship to Uncle Kent and the hero's friendship with Liam. And the snarkiness between Liam and Riona was perfection.

Anyway, I love secret identities, complicated vengeance plots, and noble heroes, and this book delivers all that. I can't wait for the sequel with Liam's story!

Note to more sensitive readers: There was action/fantasy violence and death on-screen.

This book is perfect for YA and adult lovers of romantic fantasy!
