This book took me a while to get into. I was probably 40% into the book before I really got into the story. I feel like these books are focusing on too many characters at once. I think I would’ve preferred if this one focused only on Rehv, Ehlena, Wrath, and Beth. Everyone else wasn’t fluff, but they did slow the main story down. 
Also maybe I just missed this in the other books, but the princess is his SISTER?!? Vom. I get that sympaths are dying out, but I feel like this was a very unnecessary step in the extreme to make that point.
I love this world, but im losing interest in the books because they focus on too many people at once. I’ll continue, but I’m close to stopping.
