The only people who are nice are those who have never had to claw for anything they’ve wanted. Cyrus’ main issue is her ambition that drives her to do this… but that ambitious streak had been there since she planned to save him because she knew he looked important. Prince Cyrus grows apart from her the longer she’s in the palace, he can’t stand the person she becomes as she happily lies for the king to keep her position as his Seer. Once an orphan who is just trying to survive, she was able to foresee a future where the Prince is killed, leading her to save him and gain a position in the palace due to her innate powers. Our main character, Violet, is a morally grey witch who can see the future. Morally grey characters with hate/love romance and fairytale vibes? Of course I was hooked on that idea! And Gina Chen delivers this 100%. Violet Made of Thorns is a story I’d been looking forward to reading since before the UK publisher had even been announced. And as the boundary between hatred and love grows ever thinner with the prince, Violet must untangle a wicked web of deceit in order to save herself and the kingdom-or doom them all. Violet’s wits may protect her in the cutthroat court, but they can’t change her fate. Violet faces her own choice: Seize an opportunity to gain control of her own destiny, no matter the cost, or give in to the ill-fated attraction that’s growing between her and Cyrus. Honesty is for suckers, like the oh-so- not charming Prince Cyrus, who plans to strip Violet of her official role once he’s crowned at the end of the summer-unless Violet does something about it.īut when the king asks her to falsely prophesy Cyrus’s love story for an upcoming ball, Violet awakens a dreaded curse, one that will end in either damnation or salvation for the kingdom-all depending on the prince’s choice of future bride. Violet is a prophet and a liar, influencing the royal court with her cleverly phrased-and not always true-divinations. Source: Early finished copy provided by the publisher (this in no way affects my review which is honest and unbiased) I’m planning on picking up as many editions as I can!Ī darkly enchanting fantasy debut about a morally gray witch, a cursed prince, and a prophecy that ignites their fate-twisted destinies-perfect for fans of The Cruel Prince and Serpent & Dove. If you’re looking for a story to fall completely in love with and find yourself wanting to read it as often as possible, especially if The Cruel Prince was a book you loved, then Violet Made of Thorns will, undoubtedly, be the right story for you.
