Pros:
  • World building and creating mysteries 
  • We get some answers
  • The banter 
  • THRONE SCENE 
Cons:
  • FMC is annoying 
  • NOBODY COMMUNICATES.
  • The pacing was horrid the first half of the book.

Overall the first half was actually terrible. The main characters are separated and the FMC is annoying. The second half was great. Pacing really improved and people started to actually communicate. The ending was outstanding, what a cliffhanger.

Gods damn it, these books are ruining my life (non derogatory). Incredibly trope-y and dumb at times, but incredibly fun. I loved the political conflict of this book so much more than the boot camp army brat first book. I still could care less about Violet and Xaden’s love life, though. I didn’t guess the last twist
but I did guess Andarna’s twist halfway through the book, so that felt good
