The story itself was entertaining and intriguing. I knew there had to be a plot twist at the end but could not figure out what it was. I do feel like the way the relationships between characters developed was a little unnatural, although the plot twist at the end sort of explains this. 

I wish we got more details on the other realms/rulers and more about the curses. The explanation at the end felt a little bit rushed. Overall this is a fun and intriguing book, it just needed some small changes!
