Thank you Bloomsbury for an ARC of this title!

A plot heavy, page-turner of a book! Compared to <i>Priory of the Orange Tree</i>, this book is faster paced and has more romance (and yes, spice) due to its focus on characters who are already in loving established relationships. I love that this book reveals the "why" behind key plot points in Priory, and found it interesting to see Inys and Lasia work through personal internal conflicts.
