Overall, I a liked this book, but i did not love it. I did like both very different POV and loved the court policies that were the main focus of this novel. I thought however the pacing was not as strong and the book did not grab my attention from page one. There was some flashback moments that I wish had been clearer. I liked the sexual representation in this read overall. I also really liked the elements of found family and the sea themed elements. I like the ending however and we be checking out book 2!
