“Magic, Betrayal & Passion in Peril – Why A Traitor Sister by Day Leitao Will Consume Your TBR”

Posted on by Luzanne Warren

Synopsis

A Traitor Sister plunges us deeper into the intoxicating world of the Remnants of the Fallen Kingdom series. Astra, finally free from her master’s manipulations, is ready to explore her dangerous magic and uncover her mysterious origins. But before she can take a breath, her kindred soul — a fae prince — is imprisoned by a dark magic trap. Time is running out, and the stakes have never been higher.
With the Crystal Castle hurtling toward a fiery doom, the false king becomes desperate enough to try seducing Astra for her unique magical heritage… unaware there’s an impostor ready to kill him. What follows is a whirlwind of dark secrets, magical politics, sizzling romance, and high-stakes action that will leave you gasping for more.

Detailed Review

Day Leitao has a talent for creating fae romantasy worlds that feel lush and immersive without sacrificing pace — and A Traitor Sister is proof she’s only getting better.

We open with Astra in a rare moment of autonomy, but it doesn’t last. Her emotional tether to her fae prince keeps the stakes sky-high from the first page. The urgency of his imprisonment is a masterclass in tension: every scene either drives her closer to freeing him or pushes her further into the treacherous maze of magical politics.

The dual threat — saving her prince while the Crystal Castle barrels toward destruction — layers the story beautifully. This isn’t just about romance; it’s about a kingdom on the brink. The balance between intimate emotional beats and large-scale fantasy drama is seamless.

Leitao continues to shine in character dynamics. The snarky banter is back (thank the stars), and the enemies-to-lovers tension between Astra and her prince still sizzles. But we also get new relationship threads — allies who may not be trustworthy, and enemies whose motives are more complex than we thought.

On the spice front? Oh, it’s there. Steamy, teasing, and tastefully integrated into the story’s emotional arc, giving you exactly what you want without overshadowing the plot.

This sequel doesn’t just move the story forward — it deepens it. We learn more about Astra’s magic, and the revelations about her heritage are jaw-dropping. The pacing is fast but not rushed, and the ending will make you want to throw the book across the room while screaming for book three.

If you loved A Cursed Son, prepare for higher stakes, hotter romance, and deeper magic. If you haven’t started the series yet — what are you doing?
