A bit slow but overall intriguing. Different storyline than the typical YA fantasy.
medium-paced
I enjoyed reading this book, but it was a little predictable. The second Jaren entered the prison I suspected something was up with him. When Naari kept a close look on him always, I was sure he was the prince and she her guard. I also suspected Kiva to have healing powers, but I was surprised to find out Tilda was her mother. This plot choice felt a little random though. Same with the sudden cabinet full of poisoned drinks that kiva conveniently didn't know about for 10 years. I'll read book two because I'm curious to see how Jaren and Kiva will interact going forward. I do hope kiva doesn't suddenly change character though now that she's revealed to be a rebel.

I read this when I was sick and thus my brain was mush, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. A nice YA fantasy. I liked the setting a lot. Not quite a 5 star for me even though there wasn't anything wrong with the writing. Hopefully my library has the second book :))
3.5
this book i think really dragged out for the first maybe 300 pages which was sort of frustrating, especially for the first two trails kiva underwent, it just skipped past them even though that is literally what the whole book is about but,. it just sucks that so much happened at the end that was so good, but that the majority of the book felt sort of dragged. that being said i haven't stopped thinking about this book since and i do have high hopes for the other two books in the trilogy. love a little y/a fantasy and love a little y/a fantasy with romance even more.

it ended so good and like the plot twists had me gagged. idk why i didn't expect the first plot twist cause it wasn't the craziest thing ever, but the second reveal was sort of insane
