I thought this was a really different, intriguing concept to a fantasy book. There's princes, princesses, witches, magic, dragons and all kinds of fun things. I mean a Kiss that can heal and defeat anythig?! How cool is that?

It was a cute story. The first half of the book was hard for me to get into. It was rather slow and not too many exciting things happen. After this point, I really got into the story and was excited to know what happened next. I will say, I did see the twist coming from a mile away.

I did enjoy some of the characters but the main character, Ivy, rather got on my nerves at times. I also couldn't handle how many times I had to read the word "Kiss." It was just too much. Yes, it's one of the main points about the book but it was overused, for sure. I did like the supporting characters. They were a lot more interesting and I connected to them a little more.

I found a lot of this book way too predictable, the romance, the character choices and the "twist." I thought that the end with the dragon was way too easy.  I did like how the epilogue wrapped everything up all nice and sweet.

Overall, it was an okay read but it fell short. I was excited about the premise but it just fell really flat for me. I am giving it 3/5 stars because I still mostly enjoyed the last half of the book.

Thank you to: Netgalley, Entangled Publishing and YA Bound Book Tours for an e-ARC of this book, to review. #KissOfTheRoyal #NetGalley
