The novel's lush descriptions and well-researched setting create an immersive experience, while its dynamic characters and engaging plot deliver both emotional depth and excitement. For readers who enjoy historical romance with a strong sense of place and well-drawn characters, "Prince of Fortune" offers a rewarding escape.

I wish I could spend more time in this world and with these characters! Edmund and Aubrey were both wonderfully compelling and fully realized characters; I loved seeing them grow close and fall in love, and also fight to protect their country, one another, and their relationship. The magic, the rich history of the countries in Thasbus, the politics and harsh, grim realities of a magical war are done so well. I really could've happily read this story stretch out over several books, and I hope Tirreno takes us there again in the future.

This was described as red white and royal blue meets a darker shade of magic. I think this was a lot lower fantasy than ADSOM, and I didn't really get the comp to RWARB either since only one is a royal. Also, this is supposed to be a YA book, but I kinda feel like it wanted to be adult? I'd compare it more to Divine Rivals since there's a big war/military aspect that takes up a lot of the middle. I liked the start and the end more. The romance was cute, and I lived the water/seer aspects.
