Warning: at 86%, we have a scene of “unintentional” domestic violence.
The MC H is ragingly jealous that it seems his wife the MC h is embracing his brother in public. He grabs her roughly by the arm, drags her away to a forest area where no one can see them, grips her arm so hard he bruises her and when she tries to get him to talk to understand why he’s so upset, he flings her away and her body thudding into a tree is what stops her from traveling further.
All in the name of “love”.
And she’s like, it’s ok, I’m a Divine Healer so it didn’t hurt (BS, she got HURT, she could just HEAL it. Convenient if he decides to keep hurting her in the future).
Then she does her best to talk him down to figure out why he was so upset and he confesses his love to her and she is SO HAPPY and responds in kind.
…
No. Absolutely NOT acceptable. Love is NEVER about hurting the other person, even if the abuser is “hurting” too because the love just overpowered their rational thinking and they just had no other recourse than to lash out.
I pray that anyone who is experiencing abuse can get out and away to safety. Books where it’s acceptable and seen as nothing major hurt every single person who has gone and is going through abuse.
I can’t give this book more than 1 star and I won’t be continuing with this series.
It was boring, and I was meh about it and then THIS scene and I am DONE.
1, boring is better than glorifying abuse, stars.

This volume is weird! They spend a lot of time on her handmaiden's drama with a simple resolution off the bat and no relation to the overarching plot (so far). Then the reveal of her powers is very minimal. Then it's just... a quickly wrapped up but annoying jealousy plot line???
I loved volume one. Volume 2 is kind of a let down. We'll see what volume 3 is like. At least we know her husband loves her very much.

Carolina's life at the Imperial Court continues, finally learning about her powers and to some extent what she can do with it. She also strengthens her bond with her husband both through a romantic honeymoon and events that forces them to be a bit more open to one another.
The story is fairly typical for the genre, enjoyable enough, but nothing too special. The addition of a potential love triangle, however short and how it pushed the romance forward, did not help. It is just a trope I don't like. It also felt a bit out of character for most of the involved people. Maybe the next volume will be a bit more interesting considering the epilogue of this volume...

Now that Carolina is married and has officially become a princess, she’s off on her honeymoon that was planned on extremely short notice. The short honeymoon is surprisingly impactful between being able to spend time with her new husband out of the limelight, learning more about her closest staff, and getting tested for magical abilities. In fact, the test has revealed that not only is Carolina a Saint, but she’s actually been blessed with Divinity!
A good portion of this book was pretty good. It was interesting to learn more about how this world works. I was also excited to get to know more characters, especially Prince Gilbert now that Carolina’s abilities have been revealed. He’s certainly different from his public persona. Of course he wants the one woman he can’t have when he’s got women falling over themselves and each other for him! In reality, he seems a bit smarmy if you ask me. A fascinating character for sure, but definitely one to watch out for.
The wedding was short and sweet, but then we see Prince Edward make some blunders. Is he or is he not interested in Carolina? While we know the answer to that, he’s busy sending mixed signals and growing frustrated with the results. Plus, his jealousy streak has been activated. His response jumped straight into the beginnings of an abusive marriage and it was completely brushed over because he’s a man in love. I don’t even know what’s worse: the story glossing it over, or Carolina being completely unphased like she wasn’t yelled at, physically dragged off, and injured.
Overall, the story was mostly good, but Edward’s abusive nature being shown and it being completely glossed over has left a sour taste in my mouth. It’s quickly squared away with the excuse that he’s just a man in love who had been failing to express himself. I doubt the author will have it happen again, but anyone who knows anything about abusive relationships can see right through his actions and the tears that quickly follow. It makes me sad that this even happened in the story and that Carolina’s thoughts on the matter don’t match up with the situation or even her as a character.

good but not as good as the 1st book
the MC around half-way to about 4/5 of the way reasoning ability drops weirdly to stupid, for plot reasons. Artificial communication issues and another withholding information (for reasons not given).
And another character's personality flips 180 with little in the way of justifiable reason - oh they give a reason, but I don't accept it as it reduces my impression of that character, and they become a discardable side character.
some hints/flags about further plot arcs.
The MC is likeable but doesn't feel like a protagonist - way too much going with the flow and stoic struggling on, for insane counterproductive reasons.
I doubt ... hmm I am sure I am not part of the target audience.

yeah, no. that was a convoluted mess. i think the only thing i still like is the translator's work.
the otherwise promising overall plot has been marred with side plot points that are all over the place (first prince) or hardly a blip (teodore and marisa's engagement)
characterization? more like flanderization or secondary characters as mere props. idk, the first prince storyline is the last straw for me - two brothers vying for one woman is done to death, but in this case,the execution was quite poor (the author can handwave it away with that conclusion all they want lol)
i don't feel like reading the next volume. which is a shame, as this did seem promising to me.

I didn't like the sleazy crown prince (was he putting it on to help his brother - even if that is true I just didn't like it at all)
I hate when we have a married couple but they do not consummate the marriage (especially since this is a royal marriage and it has to take place)
Overall, I enjoyed the story but I doubt that I will continue the series (I have so many books on my TBR list that I can not justify reading further).
I do think that if you like romances that you will probably enjoy the story.

I skimmed through 80% of this book. It is so badly written, the plot is so bad, and the characters are so stupid. The author is putting in all kinds of things that they think are intelligent and it is completely falling flat. Each character makes these long and profound sounding statements, but if you just consider the circumstances and what they’re saying, it doesn’t make any sense. The author clearly has some specific ideas about nobility, but they aren’t correct.

Questions and answers
I love how it takes Lina's home country so long to figure out what one man noticed almost immediately. Like, really?! Was Lina so ignored that you don't even look over her effects and your lack of care?!!! Did the great halcyon days start after Flora was born or was it Lina?! So frustrating, seriously.
