Now for the good news! It’s still the same wonderful story with all the tension and nail biting drama. I would recommend this to any fantasy fan or even political drama fan. Long live the Queen!

Personaggi e ambientazione ben scritti e non scontati.
Sistema magico e società non troppo complicate.
Unica nota la scrittrice pecca un po' nel romance, ma nulla di che: ci sono tanti eventi e colpi di scena da descrivere e il romance non è scritto in maniera eccellente.
Nel complesso una bellissima sorpresa, essendo una saga mai sentita sul booktok/bookthreads

The political courtship navigation is a huge reason why I was intrigued to read this story. How Theodosia navigates it is quite painful to read let alone to follow along. I understand that I'm supposed to feel sympathy for her and rally behind her. However, there are events that occur which completely go off the rails because of her. Thus, my interests shift towards Blaise, Cress, Art, Heron, and Soren as more interesting lines of inquiry. I want to know more about their story, interests, personality, etc.
If I decide to read the sequel, it will be because of those characters not because of Theodosia.
