Spoiler

there’s a huge plot twist at the end that I was most definitely not expecting. And the back says that readers will be positively entranced but she just killed a guy, three actually so I’m not so sure.

I normally don’t write reviews but this book is just so good I had to, unlike most books there are no patch’s where it just gets boring it’s just great. However if you came to this series promised an enemies to lovers that’s more of a sub plot and the rest is like an awesome fantasy with politics and some family
