An excellent book about fantasy court politics and political intrigue. Our heroine is morally gray, but predominatly because of the impossible choices she is put into. I was hooked from start to finish and plan to bump the sequel up on my TBR. If this book was sold to you as an enemies to lovers romance please know this is very minor in the plot (which personally, I loved).
