adventurous tense slow-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Character
• Strong character development? It's complicated

What I liked: the world building - didn’t feel like over explanation of things, it was just enough imagery to let me be in the world & still add to the overall plot. 

• I also really enjoyed the mythology aspect. 

I wasn’t the biggest fan of Gul, I spent a lot of time yelling at book for her to stop being so impulsive and to at least attempt to THINK before acting bc so many of the things she did & said would have gotten anyone else killed. Like she knew she wanted revenge on the king but didn’t have a plan, other than to kill him - the most powerful leader in their country like girl be serious for a moment 😒😐 and when people would question her plan and bring forth real criticism, she’d get all haughty and in her feelings. But thankfully by the end she realized how naive she was and how lacking her plans were, hopefully we see more growth in book 2. 

The romance between Gul & Cavas is mehhh at best, I appreciate the fact that it’s age appropriate (they’re both 16&17) but I don’t really believe it, not even on a crush level. If anything, I thought Gul had more of a connection with Prince Amar and I was so glad to not have a love triangle. 

Overall, I enjoyed the story and look forward to book two just to see how it concludes.
