While I do enjoy historical fiction in films, I don’t often read about it in books. I was a little skeptical after reading the first book in this duology as it was a little slow paced and I wasn’t sure if I would be interested in reading the second, but I am happy that I did. I am also happy that none of those I came to like met their ends by others scheming and those who deserved to answer for their crimes - was a netted out justice. At some point, I plan to read His Fair Assassin series and see how Sybella’s origin story unfolded.
