REVIEW: The Four Suitors by Sophie Jupillat Posey

Being courted by four suitors to claim the crown wasn't part of this princess's plan.

Quick-witted and confident, Princess Laetitia of Avaritia always gets what she wants—until her 17th nameday ball. The King and Queen, believing marriage will rein in their daughter’s rebellious nature, surprise the Princess with not one, but four suitors: a philosopher, an astronomer, an artist and a necromancer.

If Laetitia can’t learn at least one suitor’s craft and prove herself to be a worthy wife, she will lose her crown—the one thing she cares about most. Laetitia irks her suitors as much as she can while learning as little as possible about them—and their so-called “crafts.”

But when she and Sir Blaxton resurrect one of the many peasants who have died recently from an unprecedented disease, the corpse’s cryptic words about his death set them on a race to find answers: What is the disease? How is it spreading so quickly? And why is it affecting only the peasants?

As Laetitia tries to find answers, she uncovers a web of corruption with a stranglehold on her kingdom. Like it or not, she’s going to need the help of all four of her suitors—even if they end up putting their own lives on the line.

This was a really unique interesting novel. I expected because of the title for it to be completely different and possibly raunchy. But it wasn't it was a very clean cut action, fantasy, romance novel set it a fantasy royalty era.

Laetitia is such a  unique and amazing Princess. She is strong yet a big troublemaker. She is spoiled and doesn't mind anyone's rules or demands of her. That is until her parents force her into learning from four different suitors and whoever she learns the best from will be her husband to be and the king of the kingdom.

This is full of action and intrigue with what is going on in her kingdom. The peasants start dying, her parents start losing their mind and doing strange things. Laetitia knows something is wrong and is trying to save and correct the wrongs in her kingdom.

Things go vastly wrong and nothing makes sense anymore. This is a very sad novel in parts with happenings going on to certain characters.

I really loved this authors writing style and how this wasn't just a short book it has some serious depth and length to it.

I will definitely be looking for more books from this author.

A must read
