There were things I did like about this book, but I ultimately didn’t find myself caring much about any of the characters or being invested in any of the relationships. Both twists I’d predicted by about 30% of the way through, and a lot of the plot, especially the ending, didn’t seem well thought out to me.

Why did they need to fight their way out of the city if Thane would be king now, knows who killed Tomas, knows his father was evil, and is their close personal friend? Could they not have just… waited like 10 minutes for him to be in charge and then had Lyra explain everything?
