Wow just wow. This book hit all my wants in where this story was going. Now that we have passed all the world building from the first book it's absolutely amazing.
June is extremely smart and fun to read the pov of. She just keeps going and going with all that happens to her.
All characters in this story are also so beautifully and realistically flawed. I still hate Taryn though. Maybe even more now. I refuse to read her novella. Can't stand her.
The politics, the action, the scheming and the romance just hits all the spots for me. I love a slow burn with tension.
The plottwists at the end were awesome. Some I predicted but others not so much.Seeing as she is queen now and Cardan mentioned unless the crown denies it I'm pretty sure Jude could deny her sentence but poor girl doesn't realise or can't think in her panic.
