I’m not sure why I took so long to read it, but now I’m hooked and I’m not letting go. I could do without the end fight, I’d rather the king lived and our two mcs joined together happily in love but I GUESS, I’ll go for some drama. I just hope its a one time thing.

I thought the last quarter felt really exciting and innovative and I am very eager to read the next one based on it. I have grown weary of trial based fantasy so I was kind of ambivalent about the machinations of plot to that point. 

And loved the commentary on family!
