I received a copy of this book from the publishers through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.A would-be queen. Though I struggled with the start of this duo-logy I loved and devoured the conclusion. Both the hero and heroine are honorable and likable which can be hard to accomplish and a rare find in a story. I love that the actions of the plot led to the romance between the characters rather than the other way around. The plot development and character growth were exceedingly more compelling than the first installment of the series and I found that I couldn’t put the book down. I came to love the characters which were previously uninteresting or detestable. The Betrayed immediately carved out a more enthralling plot and character development. The ending of The Betrothed is what secured my interest in the sequel, The Betrayed, which picked right up from where The Betrothed ended. The back half was more interesting, but lacked depth and important relationships moved very quickly. I found the first half or so of The Betrothed to lack rich substance and I struggled to find much to love about it. But Hollis soon realizes that falling in love with a king and being crowned. Capturing his heart is a dream come true. After all, shes grown up at Keresken Castle, vying for the kings attention alongside other daughters of the nobility.
