About this book
Elise once believed she was saving a man, only to discover she had tethered her fate to a lost fae prince. After Valen abandoned her to pursue a brutal path of vengeance for his slaughtered kin, Elise finds herself fighting on the opposite side of a crumbling kingdom, caught in an uprising against her own sister. She attempts to bury the memory of the prince who claimed her heart, but the tides of war prove impossible to ignore.
When a daring rescue mission forces a reunion, Elise and Valen are thrust back into each other’s orbit, where their volatile passion reignites amidst the chaos of a fracturing realm. They are no longer mere lovers but key players in a cutthroat game for the throne. As they navigate the shifting loyalties of outlaw fae and the encroaching shadow of a mysterious magical blight, they must confront the reality of their divided allegiances.
With betrayal lurking within their ranks and a devastating secret poised to unravel everything they know, the two must decide if their love is strong enough to survive a dark magic that threatens to consume not just their future, but the very kingdoms they are desperate to save.

Nita BitaIt keeps getting better…
"More twist and more turns, ahhh! Aside from everyone getting kidnapped way too many times, this story has the BEST plot twist! It is very well written. There were no dull spots, the story continued to flow and keep my interest.(I’ve wasted the entire day away reading this series, and YES I am about to ignore life some more while diving into book 3) We have a little more spice than book 1 but honestly, this is one of those stories that you are addicted to BECAUSE of the actual story line. There could be 0 spice and I would still be hooked! Elise grows even stronger, she finds more strength and never stops fighting no matter what. She stopped being as reckless this go around. I fell even more in love with her sarcasm, wit and hilarious banter. Your going to laugh, and cry, and gasp, swoon, get angry, but then laugh some more. You’ll feel ALL the feels and connect to the characters on an even deeper level. I wouldn’t say this one ended on a cliffhanger, more like it ended with the promise for an even juicer part 3. **spoilers** If Jarl gets away one.more.time. I’m going to lose IT! Elise better be ready when it’s time to off her sister, with NO hesitation. Valen took to long to get his junk together, but I’m glad he stopped running, from everything. I guess I’ve read too many reverse harems, I kinda of wanted Ari to be Elise’s man too lol, two kings, yes please. Speaking of Ari, I don’t like the way he treated Valen and the Guild, you shouldn’t force cooperation or loyalty. Tor was such a grump at the beginning but the more I learned about him the more his “sunny” disposition made sense. He became better at the end but his continued and unwavering loyalty to Valen makes him good in my book. I’m interested to see if Junie and her husband actually show up in the story agains. Go to book 1 and read from there! ["

ROlanderCan’t get enough!
"LJ Andrews delivers another gripping installment with A Court of Ice and Ash, packed with tension, action, and a world that feels more dangerous and immersive than ever. From the very first page, the stakes are high, and Andrews doesn’t hold back on the political intrigue, shifting alliances, and ever-present threats. The world-building continues to be a highlight—rich, atmospheric, and full of depth. Every setting feels intentional, from icy courts to hidden corners where secrets fester. The action is well-paced, keeping the momentum strong without overshadowing the character dynamics. Speaking of characters, the banter and tension are on point. The slow-burn romance is deliciously frustrating in the best way, and while the main characters shine, the side characters bring an extra spark to the story. Their relationships, humor, and unexpected moments of vulnerability make the world feel lived-in and real. Overall, A Court of Ice and Ash is a fantastic continuation—perfect for readers who love high-stakes fantasy, sharp banter, and a romance that keeps you on edge. I can’t wait to see what comes next!

Rita MarieSo much dept, heartache, and a lot of substance.
"I have found I am "first book in a series girl." So I always love the first book. And then the following books have to be really good to keep me going. And despite that I take a LOT of breaks. So me finishing this book relatively quickly to be me, speaks volumes. I really do love this series. I love the characters, and was fun to be introduced to even more characters. The magic is special and different, the world doesn't feel that massive. But instead has an insane history and witch so much dept, heartache, and a lot of substance. I especially loved that the story does not leave on a massive cliffhanger, because it doesn't need it. The story itself is so good that you would want to read the next book and find out what more happens, to get answers and to spend more time with characters you come to love. ["

Tracy Wicker PierceYes!
"Stars: 5/5 Spice: 2/5 The story continues with Elise & Legion. They have gone separate ways. Legion to keep Elise safe & Elise because she thinks Legion doesn’t feel the same for her as she does him. The trials, battle & rescues continue in book 2 with some new likable characters & some past characters. I was unsure about Ari at first. Does he just want power & the throne? Does he really care more about his people & what is best for all of them? Junie is one of my favorites. You don’t see much of Casper & Steig, but they seem like good loyal characters. I don’t like or trust Ulf. Something just seems off with him. I’m glad Mattis is back with the crew. I wish he would listen to reason though. He & Siv are made for each other. Jarl is a leeching, cowardly, cockroach. Calista is mouthy, spunky, sneaky & super smart. I really like her. It seems our story is far from over, How will our favorites fare in this war? Can Elise, Legion & their clan take back the crown? Who can truly be trusted? On to book 3 for more. ["
