I really enjoyed this book! Although Keera is an assassin/spy, and has to do horrible things, you really root for her. Even though she is in a position of power, at the end of the day she is more or less the King’s slave. I think the way this book described the interactions between races (Mortal, Elf, Fae, and Halfling) was really interesting and not something I’ve seen in other books. The pacing & writing were well done.
Thank you to NetGalley & Union Square & Co for this advance reader copy. All opinions are my own.
