This was a really good introduction to the series, and I really enjoyed it!

I really liked Kaesen and Alwen, and their love was so right! It was awful the way they were forced apart and the way Kaesen was sold off as a bride to someone else.
Really interested to pick up the next instalment and find out what happens next!

This novella is very good. I usually prefer a longer story, but this caught my attention and caught my interest in the full length novel, Raine. Elemental Princess is the prequel and lays a great foundation to the story that is to come.

Kaesen is a Princess on a dying star. She loves her childhood friend, Alwen, who has become her protector. She has been promised to marry another man, a man she does not love, a man who gives her the creeps.

This novella deals with their struggle to be together. It compares a pure love to evil intentions.

I was impressed by the amount of description and the empathy that I felt for the characters in only 57 pages.

I read this as part of an anthology called "Beginnings" which I won in a book event. Our elemental princess, Kaesen, has an arranged marriage in her future and her heart already belonging to another. This is the stuff from which great romances are made. This was very enjoyable and you should read it too! :)

Interesting world M.M. Roethig created with Elementals and how they came to be on Earth. The story was intense, the characters were believable, and the story line hooked me from the start.

Intriguing world and characters; a very engaging story. Love it when an author can so deftly use the medium to explore our humanity. Can't wait to see what Roethig creates next!

I loved this novella so much. I wished it was longer. It also has one of my favorite theme. Childhood friends to lover. Once I started reading it I couldn't stop till the end. Despite it having an HEA, I felt sad for the things that Kaesen experienced. I never trusted both Elzar and Isa's character and I knew that there was something fishy going on between those two. I also had a feeling about Kaesen's sister and I wished that I was so wrong about that.

The love between Kaesen and Alwen was powerful and that because of them, they would be able to help protect those people even if it's not them directly. alwen and Kaesen's romance was very tender and sweet.

What I look forward to reading most is when Elzar and Isa will get their punishments.

The ending was bittersweet to me but still an HEA. I'm happy that they would be together forever. I kind of got teary eyed but happy at the same time.

Intriguing story

Cute, quick read. A little disappointed in the number of grammatical errors and editing misses in this ebook. Intrigued to read Raine
