I love Ambessa and Mel and I love getting any and all Runeterra lore, but sometimes the political plotting/conflicts got a little boring for my tastes. I still think C. L. Clark did a great job and Ellen Thomas narrating was incredible as ever. I can only take so much greed and as we all know, Ambessa is never in short supply. I think if anyone just generally wants more after Arcane/League plot you'll probably enjoy it. Especially if Noxus is your thing. Also Rell 🏳️‍🌈✨

This was good! I LOVE Arcane and Ambessa was a character I loved to hate and hated to love. I was so excited this story about her backstory was coming out. 

It wasn't what I thought it was going to be, but I understand why. Ambessa in the book showed more emotion and ended with showing why Ambessa is basically emotionless when we meet her in the show. There is a lot of insight into Mel's character as well which I loved because Mel is on of my favorite characters. This book felt like it was more political movements then the action and grittiness I was expecting, but I enjoyed myself.

I would definitely recommend this to Arcane fans.
