Wen I started reading this I was reminded of how much I love reading about this world, so I was really sad that I didn't love this book as much as I expected. I think the strength of this series is the interpersonal conflict/relationships between the sisters and how they fit into Fennbirn's system, which doesn't feature very much in this book at all as it ended up going down a typical rebellion route, which is less original/interesting to me. I was much more interested in reading about Mirabella and Arsinoe than anything else. I wasn't sure whether to continue with this series but judging from the blurb the last book sounds like it will be more in line with the first book, which I adored, than this one so I'll definitely give it a try!
