Take a shot every time this woman holds back tears, jesus christ. 

My pitch to you:
  • Think Throne of Glass meets Acotar meets the Selection but keep expectations low

Plot twists felt obvious but I am nonetheless hooked

I would first like to establish, that overall the writing was pretty good. This review is probably harsher than it might have been if I hadn't just finished Fourth Wing before picking this one up. But here are my thoughts: 
It felt like the FMC was a little bit all over the place. It felt like the way that the author wrote the FMC, didn't match to her backstory. It felt unrealistic that girl had be treated like shit, worse than shit. But didn't seem to have any common sense or self preservation instincts. To be honest with you, she came across as a spoiled brat.
The fact that she instantly was like "Yep I'm going to win, so I can marry the King. Sorry I meant, so that I can save my family. That's totally what I meant. But also... the king". It was also super predictable in the sense that it had a similar plotline to ACOTAR. Anyone who has already read would see it coming from a mile away ACOTAR

Good pacing overall. Kept my interest. Interesting world building and Fae politics. FMC with the potential for strong individuality, but had several moments of stupidity and naivety. Semi-predictable plot and characters, but the book still ended with a lot of reveals left... unrevealed but hinted at.
