Truthfully, I put this off a lot longer than I should have and I’m so sad I did! I really loved this story! The first few chapters had me nervous with the pace, but after that I was hooked and couldn’t get enough! This story has competitions, royalty, romance, dark pasts, spying, and chronic illness representation. We follow our FMC, Vasalie, as she pushes through her illness to try and save herself in the midst of precarious political instability that has been amplified by a competition bringing all kingdoms to one island. The characters we meet along the way are some of the most wonderful and most unlikable and completely made took the story to another level.
My only complaint is that I didn’t do enough research and thought this was a standalone…. And then that ending?!?! Need book 2 ASAP!!! An excellent debut and I absolutely trust that she will deliver in the sequel!
