The Truthspoken Heir by Novae Caelum

2.0

Unfortunately I didn’t end up being a fan of this book. It had a good premise, but the whole plot revolves around a shapeshifting ability that isn’t really explained. For instance, they’re using it for something that appears yo be not the typical use (a sister replacing her sister), but it’s never shown to us what the entire point of them being trained in that ability is if they don’t usually impersonate anyone. There were a lot of ways in which the worldbuilding didn’t really give us everything, and there were also a lot of characters who were just randomly there rather than being introduced to us in any real way
