I think I liked this book a bit better than the first. I found the beginyto be super hard to get though, but I'm glad I kept reading. The writing is beautiful, the characters are well developed, and the was just about right for my liking.

Ilthe politics were almost a bit too much for me. I also found that the "I want her, no, I can't want her" was a bit much. I love yearning, but it was just a bit too repetitive. 

I really love that this an adult series. The main characters have adult feelings and reactions. I've become really tired of reading romantacy that's clearly YA, even though it's not marked as YA. This is just a really well rounded mature story. 

I think I would barely call this a fantasy however. The magic is almost non-existent in these worlds. The story really is more about politics.
