A fantastic debut novel. The author has a previous background in design which helps this novel stand out; the imagery throughout the book is really strong. I appreciated reading about a chronically ill/disabled protagonist and her struggles made the story more interesting. I'm eagerly awaiting the sequel.

This book was so good in general but I felt (as a chronic pain and illness girlie) that the representation was lacking in reality. It was mostly just slight random tidbits of "oh the pain" and not actually anything that showed her working through it or having it constantly in the background and having be such a big part of her life....it felt like it was randomly thrown in when the author remembered that she had written it in to the character. I for once did like the minor love triangle though.

Thank you Brittney Arena and Del Rey Publishing for a copy of this book!
Truthfully, I put this off a lot longer than I should have and I’m so sad I did! I really loved this story! The first few chapters had me nervous with the pace, but after that I was hooked and couldn’t get enough! This story has competitions, royalty, romance, dark pasts, spying, and chronic illness representation. We follow our FMC, Vasalie, as she pushes through her illness to try and save herself in the midst of precarious political instability that has been amplified by a competition bringing all kingdoms to one island. The characters we meet along the way are some of the most wonderful and most unlikable and completely made took the story to another level.
My only complaint is that I didn’t do enough research and thought this was a standalone…. And then that ending?!?! Need book 2 ASAP!!! An excellent debut and I absolutely trust that she will deliver in the sequel!
