very enjoyable fantasy fiction read! some classic tropes scattered throughout, and only passing moments of sexual encounters—nothing graphic or crude. plenty of mystery and a good balance of character development. i gained a sense of trust with the author that she would be giving exactly the amount of information about any character that was necessary; no more and no less. (this is helpful for gauging a character’s level of importance)

i loved all the twist and turns of story! can’t wait to read the next book in the series.

This is everything I wanted ACOTR to be. Mystery, magic, fighting, court politics. Romance is there but as a side plot. I read the novellas before this but you don't need it. Excited for the next book!

This is the best series I think Mas has made in her universe that I’ve read so far. The main character is gritty and intriguing and I couldn’t keep away from the book for long.
