oh. my. god. I adored this book with every fiber of my being. the writing style was perfection. the characters were perfection. the plot was perfection. the end was perfection. this book was perfection. it took me longer than most books I read to finish for whatever reason, but that doesn't diminish how great it was. I thought the beginning and part of the middle were kind of slow, but given the whole plot line, it makes sense. that slowness doesn't account for any negatives. I saw people praising this book up and down and left and right, so I thought, "Hey, why not give it a shot?" take it from me: the praises weren't lying. I'm 100% reading the rest of the series.

The book disappointed me a lot. The plot twists were predictable and the MC sadly wasn't enjoyable. Good premise bad execution.

CRAZY!!!!! My head was turning left and right the ending 30 pages or so! Reveal after reveal! I liked all the characters, the setting was interesting and nothing I have read about before, the politics, the backstory everything just fits! Im ordering the second one like right now, im not kidding I need to keep reading!

Kiva Meridan the woman you are!
*4.5 because it took a bit to get into, i wasnt rushing home to read you know (during the beginning of the book) *

Sexual assault is talked about but not explicitly or in detail and mostly regarding minor characters.

I was into it...but then I got bored in the middle 🫣 I almost DNF this at 47% -  thank you to my sister for telling me to push through because the last 25% 😮🙌🏻

oh and that last line...

"The Rebel Princess was finally ready to rise." YAAAAASS 👌🏻 I also guessed Tilda was her mom early on and kinda suspected she had healing abilities but her never using them or alluding to them the entire time had me second guessing myself. I also thought Jaren was like a royal cousin or something, so him being the prince was a cool twist. I would have been soooo PO if Tipp died though, I was ready to throw hands!!
