Aurelia- Anne Osterlund

Aurelia- Anne Osterlund



Rating: 4
Product Description:

An impressive debut, equal parts commercial appeal and literary prowess.

Princess Aurelia is next in line to rule the kingdom of Tyralt, but she would rather be one of the common folk, free to learn and roam and . . . not marry the next tyrannical prince that comes courting. Naturally, the king wants Aurelia to marry for political power. Aurelia wants to marry for love. And someone in the kingdom wants her . . . dead. Assigned to investigate and protect Aurelia is Robert, the son of the king's former royal spy and one of Aurelia's oldest friends. As Aurelia and Robert slowly uncover clues as to who is threatening her, their friendship turns to romance. With everything possible on the line—her life, her kingdom, her heart—Aurelia is forced to take matters into her own hands, no matter the cost.


Review:

So I got this book last weekend and I knew this would be a spectacular one, so, I read all of my other books first (because if I read the good one first, I would just be rereading over it throughout the whole week- a pretty big no no if I actually want to get my other books read!) So, Wednesday night, I'm just starting to get the feel of the book when I read something that pokes at a memory... so I sit there thinking (*sarcasm* after all whenever I read or see something I have to find out what it is because it will always turn out into a life-changing revelation) and I could have sworn that I imagined this scene before! Disappointment creeps up my spine when I realize, making the top 5 on a Reader's Worst Nightmare list, that I read this book before. :(

I made a futile attempt to make absolute sure that I ever read this book by remembering a scene- and if it happened- I would quit. Twenty minutes later, guess what scene popped up?
Whatever, a day later, it doesn't bother me anymore. Much. Now for the actual review, I promise. There was a reason I was so excited about reading this book! Aurelia has many things I look for in a book:

  • intense plot
  • dashing love interest :D

  • good character development


  • finally, and usually a dealbreaker for me, a strong lead character. One that takes these challenges that life throws at them

This book had it!! Happy reading :)
