4.5 stars

Tamara Kraft has woven a rich and beautiful world in this first installment of Legends of the Valdeshi. Filled with elves and royalty, dragons and kingdoms, action and intrigue, this self-published story doesn't disappoint. In it, we follow the human princess Varian and the half-elvish Prince Kaiden as well as two Draconian - dragon - cubs as they become ever more aware of the danger that threatens them.

The world-building and magic system were wonderful, but I especially loved the characters, who were all unique and multi-faceted (can we please get more of Xerxes in the second book? 🥺). Despite there being a few grammatical errors in each chapter, I would definitely say that this story is underrated and deserves more readers!
