4.5

The main character lost his witty banter and flirty attitude but it’s understandable why considering what happens to him through out the book. He did not rise to the burden of his destiny which made me not like him as much as the story wanted me to like him.
Romance is a very small sub plot which makes it’s good for readers who do not want heavy romance.
The use of mythical beasts and who they represent is very interesting too.
