5.0

This book broke me. I expected it to be defeat and reconstruction since it's a sequel, but they don't even dismantle the Palace till the last 50 pages. Talin is forced to serve the Premier because he has control over whether her mother lives, dies, or suffers based on how Talin behaves. The way this is written you can understand how the characters feel with ease. Throughout the whole book, I was tense with anticipation. In the end, I genuinely had no idea if they were going to live or die. I sobbed for an hour for this book. I love it so much.
