Oh my God
I loved this so much! 
The writing was good, but not exceptional, but the plot twists, romance, and characters made up for it! I read the entire book in 2 days, and I can't wait to read The Wicked King! There was barely any romance (except with Locke, but he doesn't count), but the one scene we got was *chefs kiss* 
5 stars. ✨️
