This is probably my least favourite MJ Sullivan book and that's not cus it's bad or anything. It was just okay really. Possibly because I've read the main series, it means that I know what's going to happen and therefore I am less invested in the story. 

I did still enjoy getting the details in how certain events occured that had only been referenced in the main series and generally just getting more insight into the character's development. I like seeing Gwen which I feel like I didn't get enough of in this book.

Either way it's a fun light read that generally adds to one's enjoyment of Riyria
