5.0

Omg I loved this book!! It had me gasping at every twist and turn! There were so many twists too. I wish we could see more of Ganymede’s plan for the empire and the after effects the other Blessed dying had. It was an incredible read though. I loved the magic and mystery.

The leaders of the country's 12 provinces find themselves on a murder cruise. I mean, what isn't to love about that idea? Characters with their own strong beliefs and concerns, and heavy on the distrust. 

100% check your trigger warnings for this one. However, there is so much to love about this story. It is well-paced and the perfect length for the story to be told. Nothing felt wasted or out of place in terms of the pacing,

however, I didn't super love the fade to black at the end of the last chapter. That felt really out of place for me.</spoiler
