Author: Michelle Dare
Format: Audio

Genre: fantasy romance, enemies to lovers
Standalone: technically
Part of a Series: Book 2 of The Iridescent Realm

4.5/5
While technically a standalone, I highly recommend reading The Azure Kingdom first in order find out the history of the kingdoms and the characters’ backstories. Oliver and Addison’s story starts during the epilogue of The Azure Kingdom just like the epilogue of The Pine Forest leads into the next book.
I like how Addison and Oliver overcome the rivalry and the magic between them. Michelle Dare has created a compelling world in The Iridescent Realm that keeps the reading guessing and reading more.
I received this audiobook for free from Audiobook Obsession. This is my honest and voluntary review.
