The plot and the world building was so intriguing and really gripped me! I am excited and want to continue the series for that, but there were some elements that kept me from rating it higher.

I liked the characters (some definitely more than others), but didn’t particularly love any of them and Scarlett & her attitude bugged me/gave me whip lash lol. All their secrets were interesting and added to their character dimension for sure, but the reference to them constantly among all the characters as stuff they “couldn’t say” was a tad annoying.

There were also some conflicts with Sorin that she was so tunnel vision on labeling as “lying to her” and “betraying” her, but if she truly listened to him would have realized she was being so dramatic. She doesn’t like him, then she likes him. She loves him then one tiny thing is said/done and she hates him/doesn’t like him again. Was kind of exhausting to read through.

And plot-wise/their war history-wise there were some things that seemed to go over my head or that I had thought were already introduced one way and then were explained slightly different later on (though that could totally be a me issue

Was a bit hard to follow (audiobook). Might have to try reading when not busy.

This was an interesting story I just found myself being so frustrated at it. One second I was eating it up and the next I was tossing it aside in anger. Scarlett is sooooooooo annoying, she always had this victim mentality but come on girl you are deaths maiden. One of the toughest people around and you’re letting men cage you? Men? Really? She was so close minded and the constant talk of Soren lying to her when he had told her she was far from chapters earlier and she didn’t ask any questions about it! She appears so smart but doesn’t think man. Why did she keep panicking at the worse possible moments, like girl read the room, it’s escaping time, freak out time is later ! I loved Sorin though and it was pretty obvious he was the fire prince.

This series had hints of some of my favorite series so I thought I would give it a try. I'm so glad I did. The story has been fun even if a bit predictable. Reading the author's connection to the characters was even more captivating. I'm excited to see where Scarlett's adventures take us.

It was EXACTLY like throne of glass but badly written. There was no character development outside of dialogue.
