Wat een geweldig verhaal, een echte aanrader!

Hilma Werff 16 maart 2025
A Kingdom of Destruction by Ivory K. Rose is a mesmerizing fantasy story, in which a war between Fae and Humans only has losers. When Princess Aven walks into a trap only to find out almost all of her relatives are dead, she becomes a prisoner of the Fae. And when the cruel Fae King wants her to chose between his two sons, as one of his sons she has to marry, she does not know what to do.

From the very first I was totally captivated by this story. The writing style just pulls you in, as does Aven. She is such a great character: fierce, loyal, fights well thanks to her runes which are inked on her body. When she becomes a pawn into the war and schemes of the Fae King, she wants out, but his sons are determined to get under her skin. They are completely different and as a reader you, as Aven, do not know if they are telling the truth, because she gets treated as a guest (as if).

As Aven spends more time with Roran and Cillian, she gets to know them better and sometimes she likes the banter between them all. Both Roran and Cillian are great characters, you want to like them, but at the same time you don’t trust them. I can understand why Aven has a hard time choosing between them. As the story progresses, there is this huge plot twist I did not see coming at all!

The world-building is amazing, as is the magic system of the runes. I had a really hard time putting the book down.

A Kingdom of Destruction is a great read, it is a fantastic novel, with great characters, complete with danger, betrayal, romance, banter, many twists and turns, and with a fantastic FMC, who just leaps off the pages. If you want to read a mesmerizing and fascinating fantasy novel, you have to read this one! I can’t wait to read the next book, as this book has become one of my favourite reads!
