Thank you Netgalley and Bees & Honey for this ARC for an honest review.

Princess of Air is about a kingdom where there are four siblings who each possess a type of elemental magic. Their mother is the Queen and although she once possessed the four types of magic, she decided to give each of her children one type of magic. Princess of Air is about Princess Arabella, whose elemental magic is air. However, since all four siblings have magic, it is decided that they will need to compete to see who will be heir to the throne, instead of it going to Arabella's older brother. Along with having to compete in these trials, Arabella is betrothed to another who doesn't have her heart. With a neighboring kingdom wanting to start a war, the Princess of Air, needs to join forces with her siblings but they'll need to work together and not compete against each other.

I loved this book. It was written in a way that anyone could read about this kingdom with princes and princesses who have magic and understand from beginning to end. It isn't so full of information that it will leave you confused and when there is information presented it's written in a way that makes you want to keep reading. I do wish we could've gotten a little more in the final battle, but I feel like it didn't hurt the story.

Now, for the characters. I loved every character in this book. Arabella was such a great character, She was tough, funny, outspoken and confident, but she was also shown to be vulnerable. Her banter with her siblings was great too. I loved that they would go back and fourth and call each other out. Jamys was such a gentleman and there were times that I felt for him, especially towards the end. Tomas was the one who I disliked for a while, but towards the end, I feel like there are revelations that make me understand why he did certain things or acted a certain way with Arabella. As the Queen and King, I really enjoyed how they were written. I feel like a lot of times Queens and Kings are written to be mean and nasty people, but they were written to be kind and take their children into consideration.

I loved this book and would recommend to anyone. I cannot wait to read the rest of the books!

I rate this book a 3/5 stars. I loved the concept of this book with the four siblings and the four elements. It gives readers a chance to find the weakness and advantages of each sibling group and that is something that is so great and refreshing to figure out. I feel like the overall plot was really good but there were some gaps that I was not able to fill in on my own. I would totally recommend this book to other people though and I think that many people will enjoy this book.

Thank you NetGalley and Natalie Cammaratta for allowing me an ARC in exchange for an honest review of this novel.

I really quite enjoyed this book. It’s the first in what I’m assuming will be a series since it end is not completed. I really enjoyed so many of the elements in this book and how things were very nicely tied together! It keeps you wanting to read more and stay engaged through out!

Thank you for allowing me this opportunity, I look forward to reading more of your books in the future!

Posted on Goodreads- will post on Amazon once published!

Thank you to Netgalley and Natalie Cammaratta for providing me with an Advanced Readers Copy of Princess of Air in return for an honest review.

I was hooked from the first page. 4 royal siblings, each with an elemental power, have to compete in trials to determine who is fit to rule their kingdom, Alchos. This story follows Arabella’s POV, who controls air and is battling between what she wants and her family duty.
Arabella’s character development is really well done. I felt connected to Ara and really liked her strength and witty personality. She knew what she wanted and has a strong sense of self.
Of course, all my favourite fantasy novels have romance and this one is without exception. The romance in this story is perfect. It is a slow burn with twists and turns that kept me enticed.
There were some surprises that shocked me as there had been no lead up to it. They left me with more questions which I am sure will be answered in the next books. I cannot wait to read the rest of the series, Elements of Royalty, so I can continue this magical story and get to know the other siblings better.

Thank you once again for this early ARC copy of Princess of Air. I will wait impatiently for the next book.

I will post my review to Amazon and Instagram a couple of days before publication date, 11 June 24.

Thank you NetGalley and Natalie Cammaratta for the ARC!! I thoroughly enjoyed reading Princess of Air!! My favorite element was always water but this book showed me there was more to air than I’d ever imagined! The plot was exciting and more original than most books I’ve currently read in past years. Along with the strong character development!! I look forward to a future installment!!

A magical book filled with adventure, family rivalry and forbidden love that will leave your heart aching. The last pages of this book were perfect and they left me wanting to read the next book RIGHT AWAY, but I have to wait.

I never knew I wanted Air as a power over Water, Fire and Earth, but this story showcases so perfectly exactly what can be done with Air, and now I’m left so confused because I don’t know which power I would choose.

I didn’t find this book predictable, which is super important to me. I feel like nowadays there’s so many books that are not exciting or intriguing simply because you know exactly where the story will lead. I did guess that Ara would eventually end up being Queen, buuuut I couldn’t possibly guess as to how! Also, when Jamys died I gasped so freaking loud. That came out of nowhere.

I did find that the pacing was a little odd at times, especially when they kept moving from place to another, but besides that, I really enjoyed this book!

This book hooked me in very quickly by the unique concept of four royal siblings who each have a form of elemental magic. I loved the way the author built this royal family and the sibling dynamic felt like it could have been any set of siblings. The rivalries, banter, arguments, love, support, and overall relationships were ones that I felt were so relatable as someone who also has three siblings.

The character development was strong with Arabella, and each of the siblings have a little of their own as well, especially as the trials progress. The main issues with the plot for me are the pacing. The first 20% of the book I was hooked. After that it really fell off and I had trouble wanting to pick the book back up. It just felt that every time a new conflict was introduced it was rectified immediately, and nothing interesting was really happening aside from Arabella struggling between two men, the expectations of her betrotheds'’ family, and dealing with her siblings and the trials. Around 65% it picked back up and I was hooked again, but it was a struggle to want to get that far; though I’m glad I did.

The writing itself was very well done. The way the author describes that magic was so vivid. It often felt like I was there. The romance that takes place between both Tomas and Jamys was well written, you could feel Arabella’s turmoil over her position and though I usually hate love triangles, this one was one I empathized with. There were several romantic scenes and moments, but they did fade-to-black.

Overall the book wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t enough to keep me hooked.

thank you to netgalley and the publisher for providing me with an e-arc in exchange for an honest review!

this was a bit of a disappointment. i love any story that attempts to tackle elemental magic which was what interested me the most in this. we are following arabella, one of four siblings of a royal family that is gifted with the ability to control air. respectively, her two brothers and one sister are gifted with the ability to control the other three elements - water, earth, and fire. they are pitted against each other to fight for the throne and become heir in a tournament held by their mother, the queen. there's all the foundational elements of a romantasy here and i think anyone who's either starting out in this genre or looking for something light and fun within this genre will enjoy this.

unfortunately, this didn't do much for me except bore me. there's a true lack of originality here. everything in this book was something i've already seen before and done better at that. the writing was surface level, very one dimensional. absolutely nothing stood out. the plot was all over the place with too many holes. the fact that it was told in first person didn't leave room for really any character development and arabella was honestly such a boring character to follow. the love triangle was my LAST STRAW, lol. the back and forth made me nauseous. i couldn't care less, it's not like either of them were worth anything.

the only thing i enjoyed was the sibling dynamics and that was only when they weren't getting on my nerves with their, at times, immature attitudes and childish tendencies. like you really expect me to believe these are the "adults" the future of this kingdom depends on? please.

this felt very juvenile and read more like YA. a miss for me!

I wanted to like but sadly I didn't and it just became to much confusing to me.. I get the part of being a princess and the magic and the trials but the relationship between Ara and her family was too weird the relationship with Tomas and the fact they couldn't work.. I think truly the book deserved other exploration

First of all I want to thank NetGalley, Bees& Honey and Natalie Cammaratta for allowing me to read the ARC of "Princess of Air" in exchange for an honest review.

Avatar the Last Airbender met Glass of Thrones and gave birth to Princess of Air.


The children of the Queen all draw her powers, and the more into power they get, the more she is weakened. The question of succession is awoken and for that, there is a trial to determine who will be the new monarch.

A simple writing style which made it so easy to follow the story, to dive into the world without being overwhelmed - a point I greatly appreciate, since a lot of the times I have to re read many fantasy books simply due a lack of understand rooted from the vocabulary used ( englisch is not my first language, so it might be that I am the problem, but nonetheless I do appreciate it a lot.)

Another point I appreciate were the simple in lenght chapters. Long chapters usually drag on for way too long for my liking and make reading for me rather difficult but those chapters were the right amount, juicy and perfect.

The romance aspect of the story was of little relevance to me if I am being quite frank although it was well writen and interessting to follow, but my attention and heart laid with the dynamics of the family.

All in all, a read I recommend to everyone who is looking for a well packed fantasy adventure.

Absolutely loved this book!! Fresh out of reading a long series and needed something decently paced to keep my attention; Princess of Air did not disappoint. Thank you NetGalley, Natalie Cammaratta, and Bees and Honey Publishing for allowing me to read this ARC. I cannot wait to read the next in the Elements of Royalty series: Prince of Water.

Loved the romance and palace intrigue! It felt different than other fantasy novels and I thought the characters were very well rounded. Will add to our library and recommend.

Bridgerton meets Avatar in this fantasy book! I loved it!
I love Arabella - Princess of Air. Her confidence in her abilities and her sarcasm make a solid character you grow to love.
Although she has her work cut out for her with two men vying for her heart - her betrothed and her childhood friend turned lover.
Not to mention, a trial against her 4 siblings to choose who the heir to the kingdom's throne will be. (Who also have powers:
Earth, Fire & Water). There was a death that while shocking - I didn't really fully understand how and why it happened.
Ultimately, I really enjoyed it!

• Elemental powers (Earth, Air, Water & Fire)
• Close sibling bonds but also rivalry
• Love triangle
•Trials
• Imminent War

At first I was super interested in this book. The blurb had me wanting to read it ASAP! Four siblings have separate powers given to them by their parents. All siblings must enter a trial. The main characters power is air and she has great control over this power already. Her mom gave her all of air, and air isn't her mom's strong suite.

This book features a coming if we story as well as an arranged marriage. This book features a few side plots as well. I do wish the trails were talked about more, because I found them totally interesting, but the main plots were good too.

This overall wasn't a bad read and I am happy I was able to obtain an ARC of this book!

I loved this book! Arabella’s journey dealing with an arranged marriage while in love with someone else. The feeling of everything changing when her and her siblings find out that they must all compete for the crown when they grew up believing it would be Rylan’s.
SPOILER:




Dealing with Jamys’ death under the circumstances of trying to get out of their betrothal. I still can’t believe he died 😭

I also can’t wait for Rylan’s story. While I’m sure he will be noble and honorable, he has the perfect set up for a villain story. And I can’t wait to see Lillian’s part in the rest of the series. And see what happens with Kirnon and Urian.

Did it take me until 60% in to realize it’s probably pronounced “James” just with the e swapped out for a y? Yes. (Jammies pronouncers, rise up)!

This wasn’t exactly what I thought it was going to be, but it kept my attention anyway? It had SO much potential, but fell a little flat for me.

The summary describes four royal siblings, each with magic rooted to one of the four elements. They are swept into a trial to decide which of them will be the heir to their kingdom. Our main character is Arabella, Princess of Air.

Sounds SO COOL, right? I think this summary stemmed from the success we’ve seen in the past year from “Powerless” and “The Serpent And The Wings of Night” with epic trials.

However, maybe 3% of the book gets dedicated to each trial. It’s very minor, and none of the trials actually get completed? Since they’re siblings, it’s also not going to be a trial to the death. So that deflates some of the high stakes.

Trials *technically* do happen, but quickly take a backseat to the more interesting subplot. There’s unrest in neighboring kingdoms, people vanishing by the borders, and a “dark magic” being whispered about. This sounded SO COOL, but also gets resolved super fast.

This B plot really intrigued me, but it also fell away fast. Most of the book was about Arabella trying to convince herself that her arranged marriage could still work. Even though she’s sleeping with someone else and doesn’t want the marriage to happen.

Overall, I’m sad. It wasn't actually a trials-driven story. But I think if the summary gets reworked to include the dark magic and unrest, it could temper expectations.

Thank you to the author, publisher, and NetGalley for my advanced digital copy!

I really enjoyed Princess of Air! The banter and witty remarks from all the siblings drew me in quickly!

I love the powers came from the elements and that they were split between siblings. It made it different than other books and loved how this really focused on the royal family and their relationships.

The main character Ara I really connected with and loved everything about her! Her two love interests I enjoyed as well. I did gravitate more towards one more than the other but was crushed at the same time that she didn’t put much effort into one of them and also how it ended really surprised me and wish it could’ve taken a different turn somehow.

I am 100% happy with who she ends up with and want more of them and hope there will be another book for them in the series!

I saw there will be a book more focus on Marcus one of the siblings and can see his being intriguing too as I feel we got the least amount on him in this book.

I will 100% be continuing this series as I loved the characters and elemental magic. I can’t wait to see where the series goes!

Thank you to NetGalley and Bees & Honey for this ARC in exchange for an honest review!

Thank you so much to NetGalley and the author for allowing me to read this arc. Initially this was a bit slow for me pacing wise. The story was a bit confusing at first but once it found its stride I loved it so much. Arabella was an interesting main character and I liked her character development.

I would like to start by thanking NetGalley’s team and everyone involved in allowing me early access to this one.

“Princess of air” promises to be a fantasy novel about four magical brothers and sisters who have to fight among each other to see who will succeed their mother, the Queen of Alchos.

The synopsis was very promising in this one, and I was already intrigued. However, I felt the majority of the book is romantsy, with the love triangle between Arabella, Tomas and Jamys taking the majority of the narrative’s focus. I’m clearly not a romantsy girl, I keep on hoping the trials took more space of the narrative, which hardly happens.

Overall, it’s an entertaining book, but could have been much more. Well, if you like romantsy maybe you will fancy this one, but for me, fantasy does not need romance. I’m a lover for romance, but if I want romance I just go and read romance, I don’t expect it to be so central in a supposably fantasy book, where I’m looking for a different narrative.

Thank you NetGalley for this arc.
It was an enjoyable read but it felt very slow paced and also it felt a bit like the story was all over the place.
Arabella is an amazing FMC though and her story with Tomas is quite cute.
