I received this ARC from NetGalley and the publishers but all thoughts are my own. 

I went into this book knowing absolutely nothing about it. I just knew that I'd enjoyed Whitten's work before and I was not disappointed here. 

It follows Lore, a spy with a necromancer's powers, as she is forced into helping the King. The country is on the brink of war and the King suspects his son so Lore has to get close to him and find out if the prince is a traitor, all the while learning more about her powers. 

When I started this book I was pretty sure I knew what would happen but I was just enjoying the ride. Turns out I had no idea how it would turn out. I was kept on my toes at every twist and turn. 

I really love the worlds Whitten creates and her characters are really fun and well rounded. 

I did think that the chemistry between Gabe and Lore was a bit lacking but I don't think that really mattered to me too much.
