Publisher's summary

Gifted thief Romeria has flourished from her days as a street kid pilfering wallets to survive. Now she thrives, stealing jewels from the rich under the involuntary employ of New York City's most notorious crime boss. But when an enigmatic woman secures her services at swordpoint, Romeria is plunged into a startling realm of opposing thrones, warring elven, and elemental magic she cannot begin to fathom.

Her quest is straightforward: Steal a stone from Islor's sacred garden without anyone discovering her true identity, which would earn her certain death. But the identity she has inexplicably assumed is that of the captured Ybarisan princess - an enemy to Islor after she poisoned their beloved king and queen on the day she was to marry the prince.

Her betrothed, the newly crowned King Zander, detests her with every grain of his handsome being. Zander gives her a choice: life in a cell or an acquittal of all charges in exchange for her help in exposing the growing plot against him.

Romeria sees no other option and embraces the tricky role of smitten queen-to-be until she can escape. As she digs deeper, she discovers monstrous truths that could spell ruin for all.

book is very enjoyable, narration is bland

wish i had read instead of listened - please don’t continue with this robotic, lifeless narrator (she improves while reading other characters’ pitches/accents, but as the main character’s internal monologue she was intolerable)

absolutely riveting!

I'm loving this slow burn but politically Intriguing fantasy world. wow! can't wait to start the next!!!

Oh my goodness!!!!!

I wish I could give this book 1,000 Stars. what a story! I enjoyed the character development, the twists and turns, and I cannot wait for the next book!

Should have read instead of listened

This absolutely surprised me! Love the idea of simple time travel, main character awakening new powers and of course enemies to lovers. The narrator wasn’t the best. She was very robotic and bland. Her voice was so blahhh it almost ruined the book!

Fantastic

A fantastic book fun of adventure and love and more adventure. I couldn’t stop listening. I just wanted more and more.

Magnificent story

The reader is probably one of the worst so definitely speed up so it doesn’t sound so robotic. It was still hard at times to understand what “person” the story was being told in due to her monotone.but stick with it.

KA is one of my new favorite writers. Im so glad she wrote this romantasy! Totally different than her other books but she created wonderful word building to magnify the worlds. Loved the slow burn from Romy and Xander and the villain in Atticus. Cannot wait to read the next ones!

One of my favorite fantasy/romantacy books

I really liked this book. While it brings in elements from other common fantasy stories it twists them in a new way. I like that even though there's some mild spice it's not just every other paragraph and this is mostly about world building and the characters. Really exceeded my expectations

Fantastic start to a new series!

A Fate of Wrath and Flame had been sitting on my TBR pile for months, before I ultimately decided to listen to the audiobook. I’m so glad I did! The world building in this story, the romantic tension between Romy and Zander, the side characters—it was all fantastic. The narration was also really good. I bought the ebook sequel before I even finished the audiobook because I knew I would want to dive straight in. My favorite part was the slow burn between Romy and Zander, it was perfect. The tension and steam between these two characters was delicious, and I was so happy for them when they finally gave in! The ending was a huge cliffhanger, so I am excited to see where things go in book 2!

If you're questioning this one, Don't!

This isn't my usual preference of book, but I was so intrigued by the synopsis and other reviews that I went with my gut and took a chance on it, and I am SO GLAD that I did.

the narrator was a little robotic and shirt of sounds like you're listening to Siri read a book to you, but the story is so enthralling that after less than an hour in, I stopped caring. I couldn't stop listening to this book, and I'm mad at myself for getting it just before the release of the second one later this year!

Even if this isn't your usual genre, take the chance! you won't regret it!

I Enjoyed This!

This was a really good story. I got invested in the characters and the plot. Looking forward to continuing!
