“…the heaviness of her crown far greater than its weight” I enjoyed my self the whole time while reading this book. Until I got to the end. I have a strong dislike for love triangles and may have thrown my book at a wall when I realized that who I wanted her to be with wasn’t picked. That aside, I think the world building was good. Not to much information all at once and easy to understand. Her writing flows good and allows for a nice read. While my main guess was correct, the ending had my jaw dropping lower and lower. She truly had many elements of surprise that I didn’t guess and that is something I love. Plot was good and made me constantly crave more, I’m curious to see how she’ll continue the series. Main character wasn’t annoying but I did dislike some of her actions (and feelings) but not enough to impact my view of her. Overall, give it a read!
