The world building was great, the characters richly written and the storyline intriguing and interesting. 
Keera is a being faced with terrible choices in which to survive under a cruel king. When she searches for his biggest nemesis she decides she is tired of living in this cruel way. 
Then the tables are wickedly turned and the next book awaits.

DID NOT FINISH: 28%

If I could give this a -3.5 stars, I would. I did not like the main character at all. She annoyed me, and I didn't find the fact she was such a drunk to be at all appealing. The fact it was mentioned almost every page just got on my nerves! 

Nothing against the author, I'm sure the book is great - I can see from a lot of reviews people loved the book, but it was not for me.
