I liked the concept and the characters. The plot progression was good, if a bit slow at times, but I kept loosing track of how close or far they were from different milestones they'd need to reach.
However, I think the last handful of chapters really brought this up a notch for me. I was sincerely excited to read the next book to see what happens, despite not really enjoying this book as much as some of my recent reads.

This book doesn't spare any details. This won't be for you if you don't like wounds to be graphically described. Additionally, the self harm/torture and physical abuse all relates to the intentional and repeat poisoning of one character to develop their resistance. This is however out of a desire to live, not a desire to die.dancingprince's review against another edition

The queens are introduced by their flaws. Right off the bat, every queen has something weighing them down.
Arisone being a poisoner all along, Maribella thinking with her heart, and Katherine being looked at as someone weak. I love them but I also love to hate them. I cant wait to see how they handle their rage in book 2 !!!
