Kayliani Shi I really enjoyed writing Ronan, not just because his POV is only glimpsed in TSB, but because I really felt like his character grew a lot in this book…moreI really enjoyed writing Ronan, not just because his POV is only glimpsed in TSB, but because I really felt like his character grew a lot in this book. I also just love his snark and level of attitude. I love a sassy SML ❤️ Of course, I love my other characters too, but I think Ronan is probably the one I enjoyed writing the most.(less)

The Sinuous Bargain of a Cowardly Prince by Kayliani Shi
"What an excellent debut novel! This has all the makings of a great no-spice romantasy series with worldbuilding similar to ACOTAR or Fourth Wing. The ending had me second guessing every twist and turn in the book—and the title itself! This was a sati" Read more of this review »

I listened to this in audio format for the first 95% and then read the rest in the book :)
The audio... was crazy. Especially during a few scenes where the violence was extremely dark, it was bone-chilling to listen to.

A great rendition of Robin Hood

“I twist my sword into the ground. It spins and grinds into the gritty slate, which dulls its edge. “You could’ve found anyone else,” I mutter.

Ramiel traces circles with his finger on the ground next to him. His eyelids shade his irises evergreen. “Believe me, I tried.” He glances at me without moving his head, his eyes dark and dazzling in their moat of white”
Kayliani Shi, The Sinuous Bargain of a Cowardly Prince

“Ether heaves a sigh and a tear slips from her eye, but she flicks it away before it drips down her cheek. In the light, her blue eyes sparkle like the sea north of Arioch. Exotic. Crystal clear. Melancholic.

Those eyes flash to mine, and she frowns. “What are you staring at?”
Kayliani Shi, The Sinuous Bargain of a Cowardly Prince

“The thoughts creeping at the edges of my consciousness, sending waves of heat to my fingertips, are not my own. I know it’s all false and none of it real, yet I cannot deny the sizzle of passion in the air between us—tactile, real.”
