The Runaway King

This series is so good! So much fun and so unexpected!

King Jaron has taken the throne of Carthya, but after an attempt to assassinate him and with a invasion threat, he finds that he has no friends in the palace, not even his bride-to-be, princess Amarinda.

This book was just as awesome as the previous one and that cliffhanger chef’s kiss. I was planning on just reading the first two (as I had audiobooks for them), but now I really want to know what happens next! Definitely a big recommendation for anyone who likes a fast-paced, action filled fantasy story ^^
