adventurous emotional mysterious tense medium-paced
Loveable characters: Yes

Rather cliche at points in both writing and plot points ("tumbling locks" and beautiful girl in a gorgeous dress at a ball anyone?). Read a bit of like a YA fiction.

There's a couple of romantic relationships to get stuck into but by far most enjoyable one for me was the love between Kel and Prince Conor - more of this in book 3 please.

Rating because it was the first book I powered through in quite a while

Wow! The last like quarter of this book is so great! A little slow in the middle for me though.

I liked this more than I remember liking the first!! I was super confused in the first half but Cassie kept me intrigued and I didn’t want to put it down? Even though not all that much was happening? Also quite enjoyed the ending twist
