Book Review: A King So Cold by Ella Fields

A King So Cold (Royals, #1)A King So Cold by Ella Fields
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Ella Fields, you might be one of my new favorite authors right now, because I went into this book with very low expectations, and I loved every bit of it. I thought I was reading of those villainess manwhas, but it blew me away. I love the arc Audra went through, and how at the end, she tries to fix what her father did to her whole country at the end. I also like that she’s working with her husband, who lives in the Sun Kingdom, to fix it.

But it didn’t end up like this…

Because at the beginning of the book, Audra finds out her husband, who had lost his memory thanks to a spell her sorceress cast, was about to get married. Not wanting that to happen, she crashed the wedding and imprisoned her husband and his supposed-to-be-wife in prison away from each other, so she can see him and try to get his memories back. At the same time, she also has a side piece on the side by the name of Zadicus Allblood, a local lord that she both loathe and hate with a passion, but she’s banging him while trying to get her husband to remember. While all of this is going on, Audra finds out that her best guard hasn’t reported to her about the Sun Kingdom in a while, so she goes to find him.

Zadicus, going along with her, gets caught (well Audra did) and they retreat, but because she was worried about her guard/ex-side piece, she goes after him, only to get caught and tortured to the point that she has scars around her mouth. She is rescued by Zadicus, but then Raiden, her husband, appears and shocks her, and everyone-he had his memories back along, and the woman he was about to marry was Zadicus’s wife Nova. Buuut…it was all planned out-Raiden wanted to go back to Audra and Nova just wanted her old life back.

But during this whole thing, the shocking news and all, is that Audra and Zadicus are linked, thanks to him being blood-deprived and needing blood like he’s a bloody vampire. Raiden and Audra do try the marriage thing, but then when he finds out that Zadicus and Audra are linked, he goes back home. But he does do something to get her attention…

He kidnaps Truin to get her attention, to make her go back to the Sun Kingdom, and she does. Audra stays there for a couple of days, trying to get Raiden to let go of Truin, only to get invited to an orgy, where she finds out that Turin got hurt badly. So she demands for the ninth billionth time to let Turin go, and he does, shocked that ever happened to her, even though she was in his dungeons. They leave, and Audra was so pissed off that she didn’t even want to see him again…until he came to him and they lived together and all that, even had a ball.

While at the Sun Kingdom, she does meet Eline, whom Raiden calls “Little Lion” (no, not like Sylvanas calls Anduin) and Eline and Raiden do fuck (like bruh why), and during the party, Audra left because everything was falling apart around her, and she was trying to be nice the whole entire time, so she and Turin left, only to get kidnapped by her cousin’s somewhat fiancee. The fiancee tried to force Turin to kill Audra, only for her to survive, and now Audra and Raiden are civil and are trying to undo what her father did to the land, the both of them are at their respective kingdoms, and Audra is happy with Zadicus, her side piece…

Or is it??

Loved this book, was very dark and gruesome at times, but at the same time, I enjoyed the action, the banter, and the drama. Some things shocked me (like what Audra did to “Casilla”) and some moments were proud moment hours and needed to get done (but not to that extreme). All in all, it was a really good book, really enjoyed it.
