A Fate of Ice and Lies

✨Just finished this incredible fae fantasy and I'm absolutely obsessed! In a world gripped by endless winter, where dragons and fae have taken control, Y. Maria weaves an enchanting tale of forbidden love, betrayal, and political intrigue that kept me turning pages well into the night. 🌙❄️

The chemistry between our human protagonist and Elias, the fae prince with secrets of his own, is absolutely electric. Their emotional journey from fated connection to devastating betrayal had me completely invested. The "rejected mates" and "he falls first" tropes are executed brilliantly here!

What truly sets this book apart is the masterful world-building. The post-apocalyptic setting blended with fae mythology creates a unique and atmospheric backdrop that feels both familiar and entirely fresh. And can we talk about those dragons? 🐉✨

Maria's writing style is immersive and engaging, perfectly balancing action, romance, and political machinations. The found family elements and morally gray characters add wonderful depth to this already rich story.

I'm absolutely dying to get my hands on the next book in The Fated Series! The way this story sets up future conflicts while delivering a satisfying arc of its own is *chef's kiss* 👌
