This was #chattycathysbookclub February read. I really enjoyed this one. It was a quickish read. I enjoyed the trials and later parts in the book. I wished there was less repetition, as the interrnal thoughts/mantra got boring quickly. The twist on magic was fun. I enjoyed that there was some royal intrigue with the rebel queen and mystery surrounding a separate illness in the prison. I didn't predict the plots twist till later in the book, and the other one that was dropped on us at the end made my jaw drop! 

Overall, it's a solid read, and I'll continue the series at some point. Many members binged the series after book one.
