Ash Princess meets Song of the Current in Mara Rutherfords debut YA fantasy Crown of Coral and Pearl , which follows a young woman from a village on the sea who must impersonate her twin on land to save everyone she loves from a tyrannical prince.

For generations, the princes of Ilara have married the most beautiful maidens from the ocean village of Varenia. But though every girl longs to be chosen as the next princess, the cost of becoming royalty is higher than any of them could ever imagine...
Nor once dreamed of seeing the wondrous wealth and beauty of Ilara, the kingdom that's ruled her village for as long as anyone can remember. But when a childhood accident left her with a permanent scar, it became clear that her identical twin sister, Zadie, would likely be chosen to marry the Crown Prince―while Nor remained behind, unable to ever set foot on land.
Then Zadie is gravely injured, and Nor is sent to Ilara in her place. To Nor's dismay, her future husband, Prince Ceren, is as forbidding and cold as his home―a castle carved into a mountain and devoid of sunlight. And as she grows closer to Ceren's brother, the charming Prince Talin, Nor uncovers startling truths about a failing royal bloodline, a murdered queen...and a plot to destroy the home she was once so eager to leave.
In order to save her people, Nor must learn to negotiate the treacherous protocols of a court where lies reign and obsession rules. But discovering her own formidable strength may be the one move that costs her everything: the crown, Varenia and Zadie.

Tinha tudo pra ser uma fantasia de tirar o fôlego

A fantasia começa instigante e mostra uma relação entre duas irmãs gêmeas idênticas que é simplesmente perfeita e que tem uma mãe narcisista, nessa parte o romance simplesmente arrasou.

Mas então a garota vai pro reino pra ser a noiva de um príncipe sádico e malicioso que de alguma forma ameaça a vida do povo da sua vila.

Enfim o livro tinha tudo pra ser de tirar o fôlego mas depois que a personagem chega no reino onde tem um príncipe com quem deve se casar a história fica mal desenvolvida com muitas pontas soltas, algo que me irritou muito foi o fato do herói ser mau pq ele é assim é o herói ser o herói pq sim, os personagens ficaram com desenvolvimentos rasos e superficiais que não justificaram suas atitudes.

O livro é bom, mas sinceramente eu espero que na continuação o príncipe do mau esteja vivo que a Nor lute pra ser ser rainha!!
