I recently read Blood Veir by Christy R. Harrell on audio. Once again, thank you, Book of Matches Media. 

Overall, Blood Veir is a fast-paced book that keeps you engaged and curious about what will happen next. However, towards the end, the pacing slows down a bit. 

The characters in the book are well-developed, and the world-building is enjoyable. Blood Veir also contains tropes I previously enjoyed, such as political intrigue, secrets, and deadly competition. It reminded me of fantasy novels I enjoyed in high school. You'll find plenty of treachery, betrayal, and secrets in this book, and you'll find yourself on the edge of your seat. I was surprised by some of the twists and turns. 

The narrators, Grace Noble and A. W. Miller did an excellent job bringing the story to life. I listened to my audiobooks at 3x speed but had no problems understanding them. I have no complaints about their performance. 

I'm looking forward to reading the rest of the series. Pick up Blood Veir if you're a fan of young adult fantasy books, particularly The Remnant Chronicles and The Prison Healer. Additionally, pick this up if you love books with political intrigue, deadly competitions, royalty and kingdoms, and a murder mystery.

This was my first Holly Renee book, but I'm already a fan and have another one of her works on my Kindle.

The chemistry between Nyra and Dacre is captivating, and I got hooked on their story from the start. Their relationship starts as an enemies-to-lovers trope, and their denial of their chemistry adds to the tension. The witty banter between them is also spot-on.

This romantasy novel is a perfect blend of spice and magic. While it leans heavily towards the romance side, I appreciated its magical elements, such as the intriguing magical tithe, the developing magic system, and the rebellion.

I was also pleased that the smut element never overshadowed the plot. The balance between the two was delightful.

The ending left me craving for the sequel that's coming out this summer. I can't wait to read it!

If you're a fan of romantasy, then The Veiled Kingdom is a must-read. You can get the Barnes & Noble exclusive edition or read it on Kindle Unlimited. Don't miss out on this fantastic book!
