Definitely a story any SJM fan would love. It’s giving Throne of Glass if it had a much broodier, wordier older sister. Incredibly dark, badass FMCs, interesting court and border politics, steamy romance, and lots of unfolding mystery. Love the writing style and non-argument dialogue. I will say this book could’ve been a third shorter…argument dialogues were repetitive and tedious at times and miscommunication tropes doing its worst. Scarlet reads as older but is 19 which is annoying, though she does get a bit annoying herself with roundabout arguing and tantrums and is treated v much like a child by her love interests. Eye roll. Would’ve rated a bit higher but for this! Overall I look forward to the rest of the series!

While I did enjoy this audiobook I had so many thoughts and questions. For the FMC who is highly feared, trained and high ranking, why can she not defend herself, kill Mr.rapist throughout that whole year, or come to conclusions on her own. Why give her all this training if she's not going to use it? 

I don't typically mind things being predictable but the fact that she didn't realize she was
fae, or that Sorin was the prince, or that Mr.Rapist had som thing to do with the kids disappearing
was maddening. She is so observant and at the same time, not at all observant.

I think I was distracted by the narration because it was so much more dramatic than I would have read it in my head. If I continue the series, I'll have to remember to read it instead of listen, I think. I'm not totally sure I enjoyed it, but I do want to know what happens to the characters, so...
