5.0

Even better than the already amazing second book. The ending was even better!

Life in the royal court of Attolia is just one entertaining, significant day after another. You just want to keep on reading to see what happens next, then to see what happens next after that.

If you were like me, and you were bummed at the beginning because we seem to go further away from Gen once again, don’t worry! At first, I was like who tf are these people? Who is this irrelevant Costis? But as you read on you’ll see that Eugenides is plenty present in the story, and he is still the center of it all, as always! 

Thank you author for an amazing read!
