Well…the ending to me was just too much of a shocker— I already could guess Carnelian was going to find out about Ash and Violet but I really didn’t think she would snitch. I seriously thought she FELL for Ash and instead would just try to frame Violet of a crime to save Ash from execution. I…was very wrong… The book is also quite slow in my opinion and it won’t “leave you on the edge of your seat” or anything, but at a certain point I was definitely wanting to read more. To summarize—read this—it’s a good book and, especially if you liked The Selection, is a sort of classic YA Romance~DARK YA Romance. Dark…

Wild bloody miscarriage(s) and a strange surrogacy tradition is the WHOLE plot of this book! The main characters best friend is being physically abused and tortured with parts of her brain (supposedly) being mixed around in order for her to be a mindless slave to the “royals” I could go on a little more but just beware of the warnings I’ve listed!
