The Ending. My jaw is on the floor. The way I GASPED, oh my. I am speechless, this is the best plot twist I’ve read since Dark Rise. I truly, never, EVER saw it coming.

As for the rest of the book, I must say I was incredibly entertained by this story. It was really well paced for me, and even though sometimes I was desperate for action, I applaud how the author still managed to keep me interested. I really liked the characters as well, especially Naari the new loml! And Tipp, I will protect him with my life.

I really liked this book, I’m so excited to read the next one because I know it’s gonna be so good— the angst, the betrayal, oh now that’s what I call a treat!

I would have given it 4.5 stars all the way up the end. Last few chapters ruined it for me.

Engaging enough storytelling. Dark enough that this isn’t for kids. Cheesy and usually predictable enough that it takes the fun out of it, though there were a few unexpected (albeit incredibly drawn out) twists. It was okay.

First off, this is NOT YA appropriate. There's so many SA mentions/threats/complications, as well as a good amount of torture. I'm not sure why some things get labeled as YA when the majority of the book is about not age appropriate topics, other than that it's a younger female protagonist. But that's my grievance with how the book is labeled and promoted, not against the content.

Nothing was terrible, but I didn't connect with the pacing or big twist. I also find that books where the fmc continuously only gets by from help from

the mmc/love interest

fall flat for me. I kept waiting for her to learn to be self sufficient, but she couldn't do jack by herself.

The big twist at the end: this is a personal preference, but I find giant twists where there wasn't any hints or easter eggs about the surprise kind of lazy. There was no reason that huge thing wouldn't have entered her inner monologue that is half the story. And I like a clearly defined power system. You go 'oh the powers the royal fam can have are elemental powers', but boom surprise she actually has unheard of healing powers because it's convenient for the plot? Ehhhh I'm over it pretty fast.

ALSO DOESN'T THAT MEAN THEY'RE COUSINS?!?! Not into it.

Overall disappointing, mostly because I had waited almost 5 months for this book from the library.

The first three quarters of the book are slow. A lot of repetitiveness, the same scenarios, certain phrases repeated over and over again. But the last quarter saved this book tremendously! Huge plot twist and I’m ready to dive into the next book.
