I am really glad she wrote it from Wren's perspective, rather than Oak. I like where its going - I like that its further developing the world in which its set. But I also thought it was slow.
The only character development is near the end when she's completely fed up with Oak's bullshit, and that' s more a mood than a development, really.
At times it felt more like a novella-like in between story.

 I definitely have to re-read The Cruel Prince series before the sequel comes out.
