A review by caserjograe
House of Pounding Hearts by Olivia Wildenstein

4.0

Okay. I was iffy on continuing the series but I felt a slump coming, so I decided to continue. In the first book, I found Fallon to be extremely selfish, naive, and lowkey difficult to enjoy.
However.
The character development from book 1 to this book was extremely evident. Though still naive, she was quickly becoming what I considered to be worthy to co-run a kingdom.
The enemies to lovers and slow burn was more epic in this book. Lore pissed me off with a certain princess, and he kept quiet and listened to her comments without any reassurances.
Dante pissed me off more. Because what the fuck is he doing? Apparently nothing productive imo.

Anyways, if you thought the first book was okay, keep reading. I’m obsessed with this series and hooked now
