frantically's review against another edition
This book just didn't bring anything special to the table. We've read about witches, we've read about getting engaged to the prince and falling for his sister again, we've read about royals realizing their privilege and how they, too, have been exploited. We've read about mentors who had to take parental roles dying and both sides showing their villainous traits . This could've been redeemed with giving us something interesting to make the story stand out, be that beautiful writing or great characterisation but in the end, this will just end up in the trenches of stereotypical YA novels.
