There are books that take a while to warm up to… and then there are books like Enemy’s Daughter, where you’re instantly hooked and held captive until the very last page. This YA romantasy is the perfect blend of enemies-to-lovers tension, heartfelt character growth, and a beautifully crafted fantasy world—all without needing a single spicy scene to keep you invested.
If you’re a fan of Powerless, The Prison Healer, or Dance of Thieves, you need to pick this one up. Melissa Poett delivers an original take on the classic “fated mates” trope—except here, it’s not mates but “connections” that happen after marriage. Such a small but brilliant twist that makes the story feel fresh and unique!
What I Loved:
- The characters – The two leads go through some serious development, and their banter had me grinning like an idiot. And don’t even get me started on the side characters—I need an entire series just about them.
- The romance – Sweet, slow-burn, full of the best kind of tension, and gave me multiple giggle attacks. Also, that “I liked you even before you knew my name” moment? Absolute perfection.
- The world-building – Poett takes her time weaving in the customs, traditions, and overall setting, making the world feel alive and immersive.
What I Needed More Of:
• More books in this world. Yes, it’s a standalone. No, I’m not okay about it. Someone convince the author to write more.
If you love fantasy romance with strong characters, a compelling plot, and zero dull moments, Enemy’s Daughter is a must-read. 5/5 stars, and I’ll be recommending this one for a long time.
