This book was a little bit slow to start out, but oh my god that ending! This is one of those stories that picks up steam as it goes and just gets better and better. The plot twist is everything. I guessed some of the smaller points, but I had no idea how the story was gonna end. 
Calla is my absolute favorite character in the story. She is strong vicious and does what she needs to do. 
Highly recommend this book, if you want some thing dark with a bit of steam and tons of political intrigue.

5.0

It was a wonderful book. It has the essence of the story of Antony and Cleopatra but put into a completely new and different world that changes their personalities and helps them develop as characters beyond the mythology that has been created around them.
The world and the plot are complex but the author introduces them in a way that you don't get lost. As well as having some plot-twist and mystery that blew me away.
You can tell that Chloe Gong has matured as an author and I loved the story.
