OK this book was insanely good. I loved every but of it the story was amazing. The plot easily gets you hooked, the characters are insanely well written. The complexity of the characters just makes the plot 10× better and much more intriguing. Definitely recommend this one and the whole series. By far one of my favorite books!!

It was good..nbut it was YA fantasy and though I knew it I think it's not my fav' genre anymore ! I liked it because I read it right after I read tje captive prince trilogie so I needed an easy read...But I think that there was a lot of things that could have been done better... the universe, the characters, it was quite predictable...
