 Ok so this one was definitely better than the first, but I still have a bone to pick with Kestra.

Absolutely loved this book. I love the connection that Mika and the girls have, and all the characters were so lovable. It was also HILARIOUS and the plot twist at the end was so good. Would recommend!

I liked this book, although not as much as I liked the previous three (including The Assassin's Blade since I read that b4 TOG). It was slow in the beginning, but about half way through it starts to pick up a little bit, but it still was a bit slow. It was mainly just world & character building, and because it was good in that regard, I'm looking forward to reading the rest of the series and see what happens with the characters.
