Now a queen, Tressya must face what she has so reluctantly avoided. Confronted with the truth that Tressya is a true descendant of the House of Tannard, she must now become the Bone Queen and control the Etherweave. But she is not the only one that has Tannard blood and wants control over the Etherweave. Tamas, a shape shifter, is not only bound to Tressya but bound by honor to take over the Bone Throne. 

Even though in this installment we find the two star crossed lovers at odds, they must fight to find their way back to each other if they hope to succeed and survive. Together they must endure an epic journey to save their realm and find the Etherweave before anyone else can. Tamas and Tressya must not only battle outside forces but they must also combat their inward struggles. Can they conquer their inner demons in time? Will Tressya and Tamas finally realize that together they are stronger?

Overall rating 5/5

Adams does it again! I am astounded by the level of world building that intrances the reader and makes them feel as if they are a part of Tressya’s life. I love these characters as if I know them personally. The way Adams writes and evolves these characters makes me so invested in them and crave for them to succeed through every obstacle or bad decision. I am so glad that this is not the final installment of The Seven Realms Saga, I don’t think I could say goodbye to Tressya nor Tamas. If you love ACOTAR then please do yourself a favor and read this book you will not regret it!
