Thank you so much to Bloomsbury and Netgalley for providing me with an eARC. All thoughts are my own!

This was my most anticipated read of the year and it did not disappoint!

I love this series so much and this is a fantastic prequel to Priory of the Orange Tree, filling in some gaps I didn’t even know I needed filling.

Melaugo was my favourite and I was kind of sad she was only in the first half! Her story really fascinated me and I loved her as a character.

But Marosa really carried this story. As the heir to the Yscali throne and Draconic Kingdom, her journey was so interesting. She was so strong and smart and she really did the best she could while completely trapped and controlled by her father.

I definitely need to reread Priory now!
