This book was really cool because we got a whole 500+ pages of the same events but from the story of completely different people involved. 

It made the traitor queen and these kingdoms DLJ has built incredibly richer.

However, since you go into this book already knowing how the political relations will turn out, it takes the element of adventure and suspense out of the story. Which is is a shame since that’s one of my favorite things about the first two books in the series. 

That leaves this book feeling more like a romance. Which is not a bad thing, but since we’re a few books into the series it was an adjustment for sure. 

Im excited to see what will happen with Zarah and Keris in the upcoming book … and Lara and Aren, of course.
