This book is not bad by any means. This is one of my favourite authors and I absolutely absolutely love this fantasy series. However, this book for me was a little bit of a roller coaster. There were some really high moments that I was enthralled I couldn’t put it down. It was so exciting and enjoyable and then there were some low points where I was just bored out of my mind and I did not care what was happening. 

I feel like this book you need to be a little shorter, especially in the beginning. The character growth in this book was a little lackluster. some character growth? But for some reason, it fell a little flat for me. I can’t pinpoint exactly what in the story made me feel that way, it just did.

The romance was good, but it didn’t excite me like the other books did. I felt like the characters for gave each other and madly back in love way too quickly. I would’ve liked a little more challenge and build up to the initial moment when they choose each other.

The politics felt a little rushed in this book. There were some new elements that were brought into the story that forced the story to rush a bit. I really appreciated learning a lot of the background things that happened politically which occurred in the past. But overall, it just felt a little rushed. 

The ending was very enjoyable and satisfying. I really did enjoy this book. I just went into it with very high expectations and it didn’t quite meet it for me. I am very excited for the next two books I think Ahna is going to be a very interesting character to follow and it is going to be really exciting to be in a brand new kingdom.
