I received this as part of my FairyLoot subscription.
"The Curse of Saints" follows Aya, a Spymaster to the Queen. Aya has sworn a blood oath to the queen, and consequently must protect everyone she fights beside, including her rival, Will. Aya is forced to travel with Will to a nearby kingdom because of rumors that there may be dark magic afoot.
This was so difficult for me to get into, and even once I was remotely invested in the story, I still did not really care what happened to the characters. This book read a lot more YA than I expected, which was slightly disappointing to me. Aya seemed like an immature character and I did not enjoy her perspectives.
I am sure this book will work for someone, but that was just not me.
