I really enjoyed this book! I became completely invested in the story and the characters, the political games and things! I am really excited to read the next books! 
The only reason I couldn't give this 5 stars is it dragged just a bit in the middle - I think some things could maybe have been taken out - and there could have been just a little more development for Kestrin and Thorn. But overall, a really good read!!

For stalking - a character continually comes after another character. It's a form of it but maybe not in the common use of the word...
