3.5

An adventure-filled romance starring a wonderfully diverse cast of characters! This book had a lot crammed into it, so much so that I think some things got left by the wayside — the political machinations felt too obvious and fell by the wayside more often than not, the ending wrapped up far too easily, and Athlen as a character felt underdeveloped. I enjoyed my time in this world, and loved how much Tal grew as a character, but I think I'll ultimately forget about this book. It's a fun one — and one I may've enjoyed more as a young adult — and I'll definitely continue recommending FT Lukens! (Even if just for that absolute showstopper of a cover?!)
