Book description
To Poison a King Review
S.G. Prince delivers a compelling adult fantasy romance that subverts expectations from its opening pages. What begins as a straightforward assassination attempt transforms into something far more complex-a slow-burn story of redemption, healing, and unexpected connection.
Selene's position as royal physician creates immediate tension when she's drawn into her mother's conspiracy to poison the king. Prince skillfully handles the aftermath: instead of dying, the king survives but paralyzed, fully aware of the betrayal. This twist propels the narrative into uncharted territory, forcing both characters into an intimate dynamic neither expected.
The rehabilitation arc spans years, allowing genuine character development rarely seen in faster-paced fantasies. Selene's internal struggle between duty and deception drives the emotional core, while the king's gradual transformation from vengeful ruler to vulnerable man feels authentic and earned.
Prince's background in character-driven storytelling shows throughout. The enemies-to-lovers progression moves at a deliberate pace that serves the material well, building tension through psychological complexity rather than external action. Supporting elements like found family themes and magical healing enhance without overwhelming the central relationship.
The audiobook format particularly benefits from Prince's attention to internal monologue and emotional nuance. Listeners will appreciate how the medium captures Selene's growing attachment and the king's slow reawakening to trust.
While the 4.2-star rating reflects minor pacing issues for some readers, the consensus praises Prince's mature approach to difficult themes and her ability to create genuine emotional investment. This standalone succeeds where many series fail: making readers care deeply about characters' inner lives.
A thoughtful fantasy that rewards patience and emotional engagement.
