I love this book! I’ve reread it several times in the last couple of years and it never loses its quick and emotional storyline with an amazing character whom really grows into her power. The world is amazing too - an original mix of Spain and Arabia with an interesting colonialism element. Carson doesn’t shy away from the more serious aspects of the court and shows just how difficult it could be for a foreign princess to marry into a court that still loved their latest queen and were expecting her to be the same. Love it!
