adventurous dark mysterious tense

3.75

I love morally gray characters and this gave me all of that in the love interest and the protagonist, however why did this have to be a colonizer romance? It didnt help that Arin was also white. 

I was waiting the whole book for

Sylvia to reveal her true identity, and it was so satisfying at the end

! That was probably my favorite part of the whole thing.

Finally something worth reading and engaging for me and real enemies to lovers (I hope). The only minor complaint is that the tournament is so often used in fantasy (and very similar to a mix between the Hunger Games and the Goblet of Fire) that it felt repetitive even though it was actually engaging. But I hope there won't be a focus on politics and specifically on other kingdoms later on because I am interested mainly in the main characters. I also hope for once that surprise pregnancy or a babylogue won't be employed (I don't dare dream for a heroine who is childfree or doesn't mention and occupy herself with children but I am fed up with Maas' natalist propaganda).
