Goodreads Synopsis:

A romantic retelling of a classic fairy tale about a beautiful herbalist and a lovestruck prince.

Shirayuki is an herbalist famous for her naturally bright-red hair, and the prince of Tanbarun wants her all to himself! The prince from the neighboring kingdom, Zen, rescues her from her plight, and thus begins their love story.

The banquet in Tanbarun arrives, and Shirayuki and Obi are dressed to impress. But it’s not all frills and lace, as Zen learns those aiming to kidnap Shirayuki have pinpointed her location. Against his brother Izana’s wishes, Zen rides for Tanbarun! But will he reach Shirayuki before danger strikes?

Review:

Everything seems to be going well, the banquet is coming up. I was clearly underestimating the importance of this guy coming after Shirayuki, because he shows up, and things go down real fast.

Zen has to make an important decision for himself and his standing when he realizes how in danger Shirayuki is. And when Shirayuki is put in such a difficult place, all by herself, she has to be strong and not let herself get upset. Since they got together so quickly, it makes sense that other important plots had to be thrown at them. But also, I think this also proves how strong as characters, and as a couple, they are. They're very strong on their own, and knowing that they have each other only pushes them to be better and stronger, knowing they can lean on each other but also do better for each other.

Near the end, when Shirayuki realizes what Zen did for her, knowing what it means for him as a prince, is so perfect. It's strong and sweet, and it means so much.

There's quite a lot happening in this volume. There also appears to be a bit of a harem forming, which I'm intrigued but also confused by. Zen and Shirayuki don't need that kind of drama.

This was a very dramatic change for me, cause while I was enjoying this series before, now I'm all in. I want the next one now, I'm ready to get caught up.
