I felt like the little kid in A Princess Bride in some parts ('is this a kissing book?') but the political intrigue...the angst...it's so good!!

There were some times in the story where I was quite confused with the wording, which is the only reason I’m not giving this book 5 stars. Overall, it made me squeal and scream and want to hurl my book at a wall. That’s when I know it’s a good book.
