The NightBlood Prince - a nexus of magic and prophecies rolled into a Mulanesque tale

 OMG!! This was a riveting Rollercoaster ride of a tale. The prophecy painting Fei's existence and the paradox of her position in the political millue was beautifully juxtaposed! I thoroughly enjoyed her fighting her destiny while realizing its hold loomed larger than her at all times. The simmering tension between Fei and the 2 princes were also etched where you could justify her decisions. The familial bonds were chef's kiss. I particularly enjoyed her father explaining the significance of her name, masterstroke move!! The tale gallows through a Mulanesque landscape where Fei feels she's no longer a player but still reels from the understanding that enemies still fight under her prophecies bane. The premise was justified beautifully, and I thoroughly relished Fei's attempts at retaining mastery over her fate.


All in all, a scrumptious book that I cannot wait to continue!!
