Under The Oak Tree Vol. 2 by Suzi Kim | Book Review

Under The Oak Tree Vol. 2 by Suzi Kim

Fantasy | Spicy | Romance | Magic | Adventure | Growth & character arcs/depth to root for and obsess over


*Book 2, there is also a comic & manwha for the series*

Synopsis:   Most fairytales end with a wedding and a happily-ever-after—but this is no fairytale. The updated and official translation of Under the Oak Tree, the #1 webnovel on MANTA, continues in this second volume.

As her first winter in Anatol turns to spring, Lady Maximilian finds herself confronting an unfamiliar hope. Her voice and her magic strengthen every day; the only parts of Calypse Castle left to refurbish are its gardens, which she plans to fill with blooming flowers; and the way her husband, the recalcitrant war hero Sir Riftan, looks at her from across their bedroom makes her feel, for the first time in her life, that she might be worthy of love and affection. 

However, Maxi's life is never that easy. Just as she begins to feel at home with Riftan, Maxi receives a surprise visit from Princess Agnes, the renowned sorceress who might have become Riftan's wife if he'd decided to divorce Maxi after the Dragon Campaign. Not at all what Maxi expected, the princess stirs up complicated emotions and politics that could lead to monumental changes in Maxi and Riftan's relationship. 

This volume collects chapters 77-133 of the original webnovel by Suji Kim.

I truly cannot express how much I love this series. I will start with the fact that it is not for everyone, there are some triggers in the first book especially when we meet our main character Maxi and her love interest & husband, Riftan.

That being said, this is easily the most real and captivating series, romance, and characters I've ever been completely obsessed with and rooted for from the very bottom of my heart!

Fantasy, less spice than the first book, adventure, & realistic character growth for both characters that love each other and are learning how to navigate their relationship with all the obstacles that have been thrown their way.

How can you not love and adore Maxi? She went through something horrific and you see how it's affected her but also how she's trying to grow, step into her own, and learns her worth. Same with her romance with Riftan, and as she learns more about their world and everything she was kept from for so long!

If you want an amazing fantasy world, a series that has characters that are real and make you cry and laugh with them genuinely, but also grow in their character arcs over the series PLEASE pick up this series!!

Honestly, my favorite book series I have EVER read. I will forever re-read for Maxi and Riftan's growth and devotion together!!

Have you heard of Under The Oak Tree at all?? I've been completely obsessed with it for years now!!

What was your last five star read??


Happy reading lovelies!!
