It is infrequent that I find Young Adult Fantasy so spell-binding. I tend to get bored by the break-neck speed of the plot and crave more character insight. Lin, however, struck the perfect balance for a reader like myself. If you like a fantasy read with delicate and detailed magic systems, mystery, political intrigue, emotional depth, and class-based commentary, this is a read for you.

I really enjoyed this text but I would have liked to see some of the other characters a little more fleshed out i.e. The Princess etc.
The cliffhanger ending was infuriating but it just means I need to read the next book!
Would recommend, especially if you like tea!
