I really wanted to like this but it felt like no thought went into this one, like the authors had a vibe of what they wanted and there was no more planning beyond that. The writing was also very disappointing, especially considering I usually pick up an Anna-Marie McLemore book for the beautiful prose. What really tipped me over into disliking this book was that the whole book revolves around these characters wanting to end the war, but by the end of the book I had no clue why they were even fighting in the first place since the royal families seem to be best friends.
