Average rating4
For the past five years Princess Eira has run from her impending wedding. As much as she loves her goddess and kingdom, she’s searched the kingdoms for another way to rule as queen someday while also choosing her own husband.
Yet, Eira’s claim to the crown falls into jeopardy when her father, King Brennus, is poisoned and fated to a sleep of living death and Eira is next on the assassin’s hit list – who happens to be her stepmother, Queen Amelia.
After Eira escapes Queen Amelia’s clutches she journeys to the northern Paravian mountains in search of an enchanted cup to save her father.
Her quest is more than she anticipated with evading Queen Amelia’s guards, traveling with the one man she shouldn’t be with, and having to bargain with the ancient dragon guarding the enchanted cup.
She’ll have to decide how to save her family and kingdom, even if it means sacrificing her heart and all she’s wanted her whole life.
If you like Sarah J Maas, Jennifer Estep, and Maxym Martineau, then you’ll love this adult fantastical retelling of the classic Snow White fairy tale.

Spoiler- Free Review:
First, I'd like to thank the author for sending me this book! The Night's Chosen is a Snow White retelling. I've seen retellings in the forms of movies, but I think this is the first I've read (that I can think of). This book is full of mystery and adventure. I felt that the details of the retelling were unique but still held on to the same basic premise. We get multi-POV which I always appreciate! There is a friends to lovers romance that, while kind of predictable, was super sweet. There is also some spice that I wasn't expecting but really enjoyed! I have lots of questions about some of the characters that will hopefully be answered in the next installment in the series. I felt like some of the plot points weren't as detailed or explained as I wanted them to be. Overall I enjoyed the book it was a quick and sweet fairytale retelling. This is an adult fantasy book, 18+ for sexual content
