About this listen
Romantic & sexy dreams link a false princess to a dangerous, disgraced fae prince in this fun, steamy enemies-to-lovers romantasy.
In her dreams, he envelops her in love. In real life, he imprisons her in ice.
Assassin, liar, impersonator—dreamer.
As a royal decoy, trained to replace the Krastel princess even in a political marriage, Astra’s life is not her own. With a duty like that, how can she dream about love?
And yet she knows she has a kindred soul. She can feel his presence every night, holding her in his arms, surrounding her with his warmth.
But ice-cold reality crashes in when Astra’s carriage is attacked by the Crystal Court’s disgraced prince. Banished for heinous crimes and armed with powerful stolen relics, he’s a wielder of mighty magic and can even infiltrate minds.
It turns out that he is the man in her dreams.
And this is about to get very, very awkward… ??
_
A Cursed Son is a fun, sexy, enemies-to-lovers romantic fantasy for fans of fae, elemental magic, arranged marriage, forced proximity, snarky banter, and dream connection.

This book instantly hooked me. To start with it was Astra's personality - I really enjoyed how the author showcases Astra's thought processes and logic, and how she assesses the actions and thoughts of Marlak. I felt like I really understood who she is and how she thinks. So it was Astra and her steamy dreams that hooked me initially but then the mystery of Marlak's history and the developing plot completely got its claws into me, and I finished this book in one day, desperate to see where it went!
I loved the audiobook! The narrator was really good throughout the whole book at bringing Astra and the other characters to life, but where she really outdid herself was during those steamy dream sequences and the hilarious dream aftermath scenes. Because Astra doesn't admit to Marlak that she's experiencing the dreams too, it results in genuinely funny scenes once they wake up that had me laughing out loud today while listening to the audiobook.
I think the audiobook format was fantastic for this book, and obviously the narrator performed it way better than my own voice in my head would have done! She really brought Astra in particular to life, and had me laughing a lot! I can't wait for the second book - it was such a strong ending that sets up lots of drama and secrets to be revealed as the story continues. I'll definitely be picking up the audiobook for book two as well!
The audiobook format is PERFECT for this book! Genuinely laugh out loud funny, sexy and exciting.

When starting A Cursed Son, the first thing that captivated me is the fluid narrative. The first person narrative by FMC Astra flows from one thought to the next with barely any pause, which takes some getting used to, but once you are, it's a comfortable and smooth experience.
The narration by Caitlin Kelly is smooth, bright and warm. She conveys emotions beautifully without over-amplifying and gives each character a distinct voice and personality from the get-go. Kelly immerses you into the ongoing internal monologue in Astra's head almost effortlessly, making the audiobook even harder to put down.
Astra is 19, an utterly believable 19. She is headstrong, brave, romantic, a little selfish and foolish, a lot rebellious, full of wanderlust while clinging on to the beliefs she was raised with.
In romance books I believe we often encounter <20 year olds who are overly mature. No such thing with Leitao's writing: Astra is the perfect mix between strong adult woman and insecure romantic barely out of her teens raised in a sheltered setting. I found her enchantingly, utterly *real*, despite her mysterious heritage....
At times progression in the narrative feels frustratingly slow - further on I realised that this gave the characters time to actually develope. It made the love story far more realistic than something quickly developed to be ready for other plot in act 3. It's refreshing and encouraging to see an author grant that time to their characters. I feel strongly grateful for the experience, actually.
And yes, it did make me want to scream at the characters and their misunderstandings sometimes. But it makes so much sense for them, and as readers we get all the information needed to understand their actions exactly on time.
With this first book, Leitao sets up a series with a rich world, fantastical magic system, powerful characters and so much potential. Kelly's narration of the audiobook offers a great listening experience that feels deeply true to the book. Both make me incredibly exited for what's to come in this series, and I can't wait for part 2!
Binge-worthy, fantastical and wonderfully believable

I'm eagerly anticipating the next book in the series.
Narration was excellent. The narrator captured the essence and tone of a young woman perfectly.
NOTE: book ends on a cliffhanger
Fascinating Fae series starter
