Such a good YA fantasy with just the right amount of romance πŸ‘ŒπŸΌ I enjoyed this more than I thought I would. I preferred Wren’s chapters to Rose’s, mainly because I really, really like Tor πŸ™ˆ he gave off such strong Matthias Helvar vibes, I love him πŸ˜‚ 
Wren did have a few eyerolling moments where she was acting impulsively and endangering herself because of it, but I still liked her. She’s so snarky and sarcastic. Rose and Shen were cute too but Tor and Wren are definitely my fave πŸ˜…

There were a few scenes that were a bit ridiculous but not enough to make me dislike the book because of it. The party with the wild Gevran fashion choices comes to mind (I lost it when king Alarik appeared shirtless with leather pants πŸ˜‚).

Definitely reading the sequel.
