The False Pawn by A.E. Asavi
Rating: 4/5

Fantasy, mystery, and deception intertwine with slow-burn romance, dragons, and a touch of spice in “The False Pawn”, an ideal read for fans of plot-driven romantasy brimming with political intrigue.

Anthea Clark feels trapped and overwhelmed as she turns 30, struggling to keep her life in order. Her somewhat manageable reality shatters when a mysterious stranger who knows her name appears. Suddenly, she is thrust into a dangerous world of court politics in a distant realm where humans are second-class citizens.

Captured by two enigmatic Elven princes in a land on the brink of war, Anthea must rely on her cunning and resilience to navigate this treacherous environment and protect her heart.

This book is a fantastic blend of fantasy, mystery, deception, betrayal, and a bit of spice.

The female main character (FMC) navigates a new world, facing undesirable situations and uncertain intentions. Through her perspective, we experience her frustrations and desperation, skilfully conveyed by the author.

The male main character (MMC) is an enigmatic figure, initially appearing to be one person but potentially another.

While the romance leans more towards physical than emotional connection, it suits the FMC's current situation. This slow-burn romance sets the stage for future instalments.

In conclusion, I found it to be a delightful read, and I'm eagerly anticipating the next instalment of the story!

Thank you so much to NetGalley and the author, A. E. Asavi, for providing me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest and fair review.
