Thank you to Netgalley and O'Brien Press for a copy of this book.

In this sequel to 'Queen of Coin and Whispers', Lia and Xania's adopted daughter, Emri is coming of age. She's just been reunited with her estranged cousin, Melisande, when Lady Winter, who everyone thought was just a myth whisks them away and forces them to complete a set of tasks before time runs out. The cousins are forced to put their differences aside and co-operate.

While I really loved the characters in this novel, I found the plot and pacing lacking at times.

However I really appreciated that this is set in a world where people can just be queer, no big deal.
