The Shadow Throne by Jennifer A. Nielsen

NO SHE DIDNT ACTUALLY DIE DAMMIT YOU SUCK IMOGEN.
takes deep calming breaths
I asked for one thing. One teensy weensy thing. I was over the moon when Imogen my mortal enemy got slain and was prepared to gather around a campfire and begin dancing.
BUT NO.
She just had to be resurrected from the dead and now she gets to be the centrepiece because Araminda doesn’t like Jaron romantically even though I’ve been shipping them from day one.
YOU KNOW YOU CAN SCORE BETTER SAGE
My bloods boiling but at least Sage cures everything because he’s sassy and has like back-up plan A to Z for the 1928448 times he’s been captured by the enemies (if they even learnt their lesson they should’ve killed him on sight).
There was a lot of fillers because he doesn’t help that Sage has like 10 Achilles Heel and none of his friends can actually hold their ground besides Roden and Mott (it sucks really) so like a concerned mother duck he has to trespass into enemy camp to get them out of a pickle whenever they make horrible life choices.
The ending didn’t exactly live up to my expectations because I was expecting more people to die (aka IMOGEN the self-righteous brat who doesn’t deserve to be Queen because she’s the servant of sludge).
With all the finality I can muster: I HATE YOU IMOGEN. I hope that you die during childbirth (pretty please could you just begone) so that Sage can end up with Roden and they can adopt two dogs and one child and be the perfect ship ever.
3 stars
Tl;dr
you’d better watch your back while you sleep because I’m coming for you I.M.O.G.E.N.
