4.5

I really loved this duology. I took off 0.5 stars just because it was really frustrating at times. Also, because I’m not a fan of the pregnancy trope. This book is surprisingly dark for a young adult book. There is a lot of violence and death so keep that in mind. I wish we got to see more of the Erlking’s “humanity”. He seemed evil but there was something almost gentle under his cruel exterior but it was never fully fleshed out. I’m a little disappointed about that. I almost wish we could get a prequel. Overall I did however really enjoy the twists and turns. It kept me on my toes the entire time.
