The best series opener for SJM thus far! I commend her for writing an incredibly unique world for this convulsed story to take place in. The political intrigue, the mystery that kept getting more and more complicated, and the flawed but lovable characters makes this a page turner. She takes risks when deciding character’s fates which is a huge difference from her other two series! HOEAB had lots of twists to unravel, but even the slow moments didn’t feel like the book dragged. Incredibly excited to see where this story goes!

The first 10 or so chapters include lots of world building that can be fought to get through, but once you power through that SJM takes you on yet another adventure you’re sure to fall in love with! The plot always had me wanting more and the twists and turns kept my attention! Definitely a must-read if you’re a fan of her other works!
