This book is a bit of a twist on your classic fairytale princess love story. I love the characters and their commitment to making the world a better place no matter how dangerous it may be. They see the unfairness and cruelty done to the people and are determined to do what it takes to make things right at any cost. The fierce protectiveness these characters have for each other is the type of loyalty everyone should have from at least one person in their lives, and these characters have it from many- sisters, friends, and lovers. They will do anything to protect and save one another. The romance aspect adds a nice touch without overpowering the main story that's being told. The couples are well-matched, and you can't help but love seeing them together. This book was relatively slow-paced, particularly in the beginning and middle, but picked up closer to the end. I'm not a big fan of slower-paced novels, but it's to be expected from the first book in a series because it needs to take the time for world-building so the story can be told in a way that pulls you in. Overall, I enjoyed this book well enough, and although it isn't one of my favorites, it has the makings of possibly becoming a favorite series. I am excited to see what happens next, and can't wait for the next book!
