Absolutely loved this duology!
Lara is such a badass main character, everything about her is fierce and loyal and strong. She is so exciting to read about and is one of the better female heroines out there!
I loved reading about Aren’s struggles in this book because it made it feel more real. Had he gone one way or the other and didn’t struggle it would have been hard to accept but I loved it all. His struggles with Lara and with doing what was right for Ithicana even if he might not agree with it makes him such a good king.

Highly recommend reading this one if you enjoy fantasy! Cannot wait for the second duology in this series!
