I read this book in a few days so overall it was an easy read but I struggled with it nonetheless. Initially I thought the female main character was much younger so when the story turned romantic it was a bit confusing. The love triangle wasn't all that interesting but took up most of the book until one side quite literally magically died. That mystery was never solved and it was disappointing.
The other mysteries going on around love triangle I found far more entertaining and would've enjoyed digging more into but so little time was spent on them that when the resolution came it was underwhelming. The world building needed more building, the character development needed more development, and who is Osanna?
The next book is about the water wielding brother who, of the four siblings, played the lesser role. I'd rather read the older brother with the earth shaking power and see him go conquer another kingdom and have his raging temper tamed by the princess in another kingdom. Maybe he can get away from the mystery Osanna long enough to do that.

I hope you're ready to be sucked into a world and then be left wanting so much more. Princess of Air is the first book in the Elements of Royalty series. The story starts of strong showing the bond that siblings share and how strong it can really be. This is my favorite aspect of the book as someone with a younger sibling, you can really relate to the feelings that they share together as if you're one of them.

Natalie does a great job at describing the world and really fleshing out the magic system to the point where the reader can easily understand what's going on and isn't left confused. Natalie's writing helped with visualizing the world as if I was really living it. The best part of the story for me was the banter and the romance that slowly builds throughout the story. It was so engaging and kept me wanting more and more scenes. The spice was enjoyable and didn't detract from the story.

Overall, this was an amazing start to a series and I am already itching for the next one and dive back into this magical world! Thank you NetGalley and Bees & Honey for the ARC!

I really enjoyed the sibling relationships in this book and think it's a very strong start for this fantasy series! Their powers were very well fleshed out and I felt like I knew the four siblings personalities very well by the end of the book.

Natalie did SUCH a good job on this book I'm craving the next book already.

I love that the world building was there but it wasn't info dump style so it didn't get boring trying to get through it, the banter? 10/10, the spice? 10\10

the only problem with this book, is that it's not even released yet so I can rave about it with everyone I know, I'll be waiting like a feral dog for the next one!

I was so hooked reading this book it felt like I got through it at record speed. The world building and magic system was top notch in my opinion and I was able to vividly imagine the world I was reading about.

I loved the witty banter that is one of my favorite things in books. The romance had me on my toes and kept me entranced. This was so well written and such a good read, I will be buying the physical copy when it comes out to add to my bookshelf!!

I absolutely love a good Royal caper and this looks amazing. It has love, power, and intrigue at the center or it's core and this combined all of those elements in this must have novel! I will be sharing much more soon, but I truly believe this series will be one of the must have book series trending all over the socials!
