A dark ya fantasy that caught me off guard with the twist at the end.
I was truly hooked in, though my interest did start to wane in the second half and the middle seemed to drag on for a little too long leaving the end feeling a little whiplash-y (though not enough to feel overly rushed).
I had guessed that Kiva was related to the rebel queen somehow but had assumed it would be a distant bloodline that she was unaware herself
The ending took me a little by surprise with the big reveal, though we’d gotten hints throughout.
While the romance subplot is definitely ya fitting the darker themes in the book are one to check out before reading
Overall an excellent read and I’m intrigued to read the next.
