Tenía muchas expectativas con este libro, las reseñas que había visto lo pintaban como un romantasy de enemies to lovers, pero el romance me decepcionó. Es más, el romance no empieza, hay un pequeño atisbo pero nada y creo que 318 páginas son suficientes para que al menos los protagonistas se hubieran declarado su amor. Por otro lado, tengo que decir que la historia es buena, gira en torno a la búsqueda del poder, estrategias y traiciones. Punto positivo que quién lidera las estrategias es una mujer, Jude. Punto negativo el desarrollo de los personajes, sobretodo los protagonistas, ya que no se presenta un arco en sus historias. Jude parece tan perdida al inicio como al final.

This was my second go round with this book. I originally picked it up and put it aside after 50 pages. I decided to give it a more thorough chance. I liked it. I admit to having problems with Jude and Cardan's relationship. I'm not used to reading a love story where the lovers hate each other. It will be interesting to watch their relationship unfold in the rest of this trilogy. Overall, I am glad I gave the book a second chance.
