Review: A Cursed Son is book 1 in the Remnants of the Fallen Kingdom series and, overall, I liked it very much. It took me a while to get into the story and the characters, but after that it turned into an enchanting journey into a world of fae courts, magic, suspense and political intrigue, and I found it difficult to put down.

The book is fun, action-packed, and engaging, but there were some parts of the plot that either seemed disconnected from the rest or then not followed through - hence my 4 stars rating instead of 5. The execution of the enemies-to-lovers trope, with the gradual shift from adversaries to allies, is nicely crafted though, and as I advanced in the story I was really rooting for Astra and Marlak.
Note that A Cursed Son leaves ends on a cliffhanger, so to get the rest of Astra and Marlak's story it's necessary to move on to the next installment in the series.
Happy readings!
