So many emotions throughout this books makes the review hard to write. I would find myself crying at the happiest moments or the moments where everything changed. <

> when Keenan revealed who he was I felt as betrayed as laia did. <

> When Elias sacrifices himself I found that I felt the need to scold him <

> Tahir has done an excellent job of making me care for her characters. I will be forever enchanted by this series.

Imperialism is one hell of a drug. "Mild" are: the emperor is a rapist and makes a lot of threats. Some of the sexual content - such as that between the two main characters - is innocent and not excessively detailed but its there.
