Red, White & Royal Blue meets A Darker Shade of Magic in this swoony debut young adult romantic fantasy following a magical young prince and a noble seer who fall in love in the midst of war and intrigue. Shy Prince Edmund will be a great king one it has been Seen again and again. With rare magic giving him dominion over the nation’s plants and weather, Edmund feels a great deal of pressure to live up to his nation’s many expectations, including making a perfect diplomatic alliance through marriage. That is, until he meets Lord Aubrey Ainsley. Charming, romantic, and politically insignificant, Aubrey is a Seer, but not even he could have predicted catching the eye of Edmund, the Prince of Fortune—nor that the anxious prince who talks to plants more than people could feel so right for him. Aubrey’s dream-visions have been full of battle, not love, but to say that Prince Edmund has captured his fancy would be a grand understatement. As the two become more and more intertwined, the nation of Saben falls under attack. War and dark sorcery loom on the horizon. To save their homeland, Edmund and Aubrey must resist the outside forces seeking to drive them apart and find the power within themselves to create a future for Saben—and each other—they never could have imagined.

    i think giving this 3 stars is being generous, but because this is marked as YA, im letting it slide. the world building in this novel is pretty poor imo. for a magic system that kinda just exists, it is hardly touched on in any way that gives it a foundation. but it is YA so i'm letting it go. it's easy to fly over that detail in YA. edmund and aubrey's relationship was okay-- i enjoyed their different personalities, aubrey especially. he's pretty fun, and having him be a trained soldier was interesting. the whole seer thing was.......underdeveloped. and a strange plot device. the entire concept would have done well if it was expanded and thoroughly presented, cause the whole war wasn't bad, it just had a lot of failings in a YA setting. if this was more adult than YA, i think it would have been more successful.
