Thanks to Atheneum Books for Young Readers for an advanced copy of Prince of Fortune by Lisa Tirreno to review. This book is marketed as Red, White & Royal Blue meets A Darker Shade of Magic, which sounded right up my alley. While it doesn't have the rivals to lovers vibes of Red, White & Royal Blue, it's a royalty romance with magic which I thoroughly enjoyed!

From the beginning, I fell in love with Edmund and Aubrey. They have some bumps in their relationship at the beginning, but they are so cute together. We flip between both of their points of views throughout the book, and getting to see each of them fall for each other adds to the overall romance. Though they're unsure about their future, the love they have for each other is clear.

However, their romance does take a bit of a backseat when war breaks out in their country. For that reason, I do wish that a map had been included because following some of the movements during the war was a tad confusing. We do get to see Edmund and Aubrey grow, coming into their powers and fighting for the greater good.

If you like more political fantasy with a strong core romance, definitely pick this book up! You'll be cheering for Edmund and Aubrey the entire way through.
