If you are looking for a fantasy read with a strong female protagonist then look no further! The Cup and the Prince was so fun to read!

This had all the stuff I love in a fantasy read!( Except maybe could have had more romance but thats just a preference of mine😅) our heroine was sassy and tough and I want to be her friend. The plot was well executed with a quick moving storyline that kept me intrigued throughout. I liked the side characters and the setting of the story but felt both could have been developed more. I think a few more chapters would’ve added to the story nicely and really rounded out the few kinks in it.

For fans of enemies to lovers, badass female main characters, and court intrigue, I’d recommend this! I’m giving it a 4 out of 5 stars. Looking forward to what’s next for Zora!
