In theory, this was a great story. Girl swears revenge on a kingdom that murdered her parents and kidnapped her sister, so she murders the prince's intended bride and masquerades as her, with plans to rescue her sister and overthrow them from the inside.
That said, I think this story could have used a better editor. There were so many just little things that, while reading, distracted from the story, like the author referring to the main character as both her actual name and the name of the murdered bride within the same chapter. Some of the plot points were a stretch, characters could have been developed better, and I realize this can only be blamed on me, but one of her co-conspirators was supposed to be a powerfully magical fighter, but his name was Damian, so all I could think of was Damian from Mean Girls.
It's a quick read, a mostly good story, I will probably move on to the next book in the series, but... eh?
