Plus the book was full of cliches, I could practically guess what would happen next, at least with the love interest. But idk if it’s the book or if I’m just in some weird slump and hating everything.
But I really do think the biggest thing is it needed to be darker. I’ve read YA fantasy’s not labeled as dark fantasy and they were darker than this. I probably unfortunately won’t continue the series.

This first book was very much centered on a different kingdom of Lachlan. One that the youngest sister Larkyrya made lighter. By following her heart to fall in love on a mission with Darius the lord despite what she's been raised to do in the Thief Kingdom. Which is a creepy yet cool setting compared to Jabari.
I love their relationship and how it occurred despite the conflict taking a back burner.
Anyways, the plot of the where the series is headed made me continue onto the next book. It was wrapped up nice enough but left a lot open where you have to continue on.
