Bound to the Shadow Prince

Ruby Dixon

Enjoyment: Quality: Characters: Plot:

In order to protect her kingdom from the wrath of a vengeful goddess, Princess Candra must remain locked inside a tower for seven years. Seven long years without a friend―or a lover―by her side. And shut inside the tower with her? A Fellian, the enemy of her people, a fearsome warrior race complete with wings and claws and fangs. Nemeth is terrifying, cruel, and disturbingly magnetic. Candra should kill him for his supplies, but she’s desperate for his company…and his touch. As time inside the unchanging tower rolls on, Candra uncovers the man behind the stony facade. And when their tenure hits an unexpected snag, Candra and Nemeth are forced to make a difficult choice. They’ll need to face an outside world they no longer recognize, one that threatens their lives and their surprising love.

    Ruby Dixon excels at putting FMCs in uncomfortable situations and then giving logical reasons for how they get themselves out of those same situations. This story is no different! I loved the sex and body positivity, along with the realistic (even though this is fantasy) portrayal of a person who just wants things to be easy, and whines when they are not. The struggle is part of the journey, after all! It appears that this story was built as a serial, and I believe the overall story arc suffered because of it. Clocking in at over 500 pages, there were some repeated details that should have been trimmed to shorten the overall length. However, it was a fun read from a beloved storyteller.

    I really enjoyed this! It was a super easy read with enough political elements to keep me interested throughout the entire book. 

    Candra and Nemeth are so adorable. I instantly fell in love with Nemeth and think he brings out the best in Candra. She was a little annoying at the beginning but I expected that since she was a "spoiled princess". 

    I'm not sure what I expected towards the end of the book, but I was NOT expecting that twist or the emotions I felt. After reading this, I have no qualms jumping into IPB. 


    Thank you SO much NetGalley and Ruby Dixon for this e-ARC!🫶🏻

    I love Dixon’s books, she excels at world building. It gives the story so much more depth. This was one of her darker books, though. The stakes felt a little too high, and it took me out of the enjoyment. Still an interesting read. Her love scenes are frequent and perfectly written.
