LIA VOLKOV — deception trilogy

she’s me and i’m her period.

rk is famous for her strong fmcs and for me, lia is the strongest. i love the “obsessed artist” trope and how they show how much they’re suffering through their art, and lia suffered A LOT.

while reading, i couldn’t put the book down bc i was so obsessed with her and being in her mind was such a experience fr she’s definitely my favorite character in rina’s universe!

Lia: if I had a nickel for every time I ran away in my wedding dress I’d have two nickels which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice

Do any of you remember in the Remnant Chronicles Kaden's father, Lord Roche, admitted to Rafe that he was involved in a plot to ambush the Dalbretch royal family and Lia on their way home to their kingdom after the wedding in order to stop the alliance from happening? This was in book three, The Beauty of Darkness, where Rafe was interrogating Lord Roche in the dungeons and beating him up for confessing that fact so Sven had to hold him back saying that it was enough. It was also stated that the traitors also planned to make the assassination seem like the work of Dalbretch bandits but when Lia fled the wedding this was foiled. If any of you do remember, I'm like contemplating a fanfiction where Lia never ran away from her wedding. And there'll be angst, forced proximity, and a slow burn instead.

There'll be the moment where she does see Rafe at the altar and they're both surprised of eachother. Like Rafe isn't the old wrinkly prince she thought he would be and Lia is different from Rafe's expectations of her. Then there is the tense wedding night where they don't do anything but sleep in one room together and an awkward breakfast the following morning with both royal families, Morrighan and Dalbreck. But of course in this alternate what if fanfiction, the traitors attempt to ambush the newlyweds does happen. It's bloody and scary, however, Lia piques Rafes interest after she defends herself with her epic knife skills against their assailants. Hooded assassins with their indentities concealed FYI. Oooh... and what if this is where she encounters Kaden instead. This is where Kaden gets angry that as the best assassin of Venda, he failed his mission. Then from that moment on he's got the princess of Morrighan on his mind.

Afterwards, when they do go to Dalbreck, Lia actually does have the time to bond with Rafe's mom since it was stated in canon that the Queen was sad when Lia ran away as she always wanted a daughter. Lia and Rafe would ABsoluTelY DespISe each other. LIKE REALLY HATE EACH OTHER. So enemies to lovers maybe? 😏 It'd make total sense because of how Morrighan and Dalbreck are rival kingdoms. There'll be like a little bit of Bridgerton vibes thrown in as Lia is introduced to court... like I got a WHOLE plot you can consider as an alternate time line or reality. You know there is gonna be some jealousy thrown in there right? Cause Rafe is hot and the Crown Prince of Dalbreck. Not to mention the only heir so ladies of the court have resentment for Lia. BUT it isn't one-sided cause Lia is fine as **** too and all the Dalbretch lords take notice of it. Remember how in canon Rafe's father told him everyone will look the other way if he took a mistress for a lover to placate him over the arranged marriage, and once he did meet Lia he thought he dodged a poisoned arrow when she fled their wedding day? How about when during a ball, Lia catches Rafe dancing with a noble lady who made her interest in her husband very clear so she storms off from the party and somehow in a whirlwind of events, Kaden kidnaps her to bring her to Venda. Rafe then becomes absolutely distraught. REALIZES that he is in fact very in love with Lia. Now he goes to find his wife and bring her home.

✩☄️📜 Review:

There is no better way to return to the Remnant Universe than reading Pearson’s expanded prequel!

After learning bits and pieces about Morrighan and Jafir in Pearson’s other works, I enjoyed getting the opportunity to finally read from their perspectives! Pearson allows the reader to view what life was like for both characters after the Devastation. Their gradual development from enemies existing in rival camps to lovers braving hardships together gripped me like no other novel and brought tears to my eyes. 

In addition to Morrighan and Jafir’s story, the prequel includes gorgeous interior illustrations by Kate Ohara. Ohara does a fantastic job capturing Morrighan and Jafir’s budding romance on the page. The illustrations in conjunction with Pearson’s text immerses readers in the world of the Remnant and creates a storybook feel that mirrors the tales Morrighan told to her tribe. 

“Morrighan” will forever be one of my favorite works by Pearson. Readers often skip prequels because they view them as unnecessary, but “Morrighan” truly is a must read for fans of The Remnant Chronicles and the Dance of Thieves duology!

Help!

I'm making a Dance/Vow of Thieves Playlist for a friend and I need more songs to put in it. Can you write songs that make you think of it/ you listened to while reading the book?
