What I Loved
The best thing about “Princess of Air” is how well it builds the world and the cool magic system. Cammaratta’s world is so vivid and immersive, it’ll make you want to explore every nook and cranny. Arabella and her siblings have pretty cool elemental powers that make their characters so much more entertaining. Also, the clever back-and-forth dialogue adds humor, making the overall conflict feel less heavy. This romantasy has a love triangle, which I love. The romance, fraught with tension and uncertainty, will keep you enraptured, unsure of which path Arabella will ultimately tread. And I won’t spoil it for you, but I’ll just say that it wasn’t what I expected.

Sibling Dynamics and Character Development
One of the novel’s standout features is the portrayal of sibling relationships, a cornerstone of the narrative. Cammaratta does an excellent job of developing the unique personalities of each sibling, enabling readers to form authentic bonds with them. Since I am an only child, I live out these kinds of relationships vicariously through others. The dynamic interplay between the siblings, fueled by both rivalry and camaraderie, adds layers of depth to the story, which I loved. By the end of the book, you totally get why each sibling does what they do.

Areas for Improvement
Although “Princess of Air” is impressive, it has some minor flaws. Sometimes, the dialogue feels a bit stiff and doesn’t flow like the rest of the story. In the book, it is emphasized how comfortable and informal the royals and family friends are with each other, however, the dialogue came across as excessively formal and bordering on stiffness. I still enjoyed the book, but the formality stood out.

Emotional Resonance and Plot Twists
Cammaratta masterfully writes about themes of love, betrayal, and sibling rivalry, imbuing the narrative with emotional depth and resonance. The plot twists are mind-blowing and will keep you hooked. Even I couldn’t see them coming and I’m usually pretty good at sniffing them out.

Conclusion
In conclusion, “Princess of Air” is a mix of adventure, romance (and spice), and political intrigue that is sure to hook you. With its vividly imagined world, fully fleshed-out characters, and unexpected twists in the plot, this novel firmly establishes itself as a must-read romantasy lovers. Although it may have some minor imperfections, Cammaratta’s storytelling is undeniably brilliant, capturing readers’ attention and leaving them eagerly awaiting the next book in the series.
