The first half of this book is filled with world building, character and relationship building and political intrigue. It caught my attention quickly and I burned through this book fast.
The second half of the book was harder for me because there was a lot of death and sadness. Keep that in mind if you're a mood reader.
I really love when a book has a large cast of characters and even better that those characters are written deep-we get a really good sense of who they are and what motivates them. Our author did that really well in this one.
I'm interested to see what comes next for the clans and for Anden, in particular. KEEP MY BOY SAFE AND HAPPY PLEASE.
