Another great book!
The coup is over and the families are trying to settle back into life after 25 years of being away.
Pros:
-We get both Brienna’s and Cartier’s POV
-Anything with Cartier. I’m a big fan.
-We see more of why the king is so evil. I feel like this was lacking in book 1, but after hearing some of the things he did here, I was very on board with deposing him.
-The MacQuinns being suspicious of Brienna. Quite a few people complained about how everyone seemed to love Brienna in book 1. That is not the case for book 2.
-Greater depth into the Maeven world and just the actual plot. So much happens in this book!
-The proposal tradition for the McQuinns
Cons:
-Honestly I wanted more Cartier and Brienna scenes. I like that this is a sweet romance story, but I still wanted more of it!
-I don’t like Brienna’s connection to the weaver girl. It was unnecessary.
-I actually didn’t acre for the twist with Aodan/Cartier’s mother. Anything that makes Cartier happy makes me happy, but it was another thing I felt was unnecessary.

It didn’t enthrall me - bit boring at times, but well written and less naive than the first book
