I would like to thank NetGalley for sending me an ebook copy of this to read and review. I would say I enjoyed this book very much. The world building, characters, dialogue, romance, and plot were enjoyable and fun the read about. I really enjoyed Vekya's journey from being a selfish princess to a formidable queen. I enjoyed her chemistry very much with Arran as well as the banter between them. I really liked how Arran helped Vekya through her grief and help her come out of her shell and become the queen she was meant to be. Also the cliffhanger at the end was lovely and I will be jumping into the second immediately.
