While I found the first half of the book a bit slow, the second half really picks up and has a lot of cool action and plot points. And there were quite a few moments between our band of heroes that made me laugh—I really enjoyed the banter.

As far as heroines go, Larken is pretty great. She makes smart decisions and has a really big heart. She also gets a really powerful moment in the book that ~almost~ made me chuck the book in a fit of rage, until I realized (like she did) what was really happening. Also, she’s a plus size queen and I love that
