This was a good book with an interesting plot. 

The first part of the book was hard for me to get through. I kept losing interest and it felt like it moved really slowly. But once it picked up, I was invested in it. 

The complexity of the characters, and their relationships was really enjoyable to read. Seraphina's friendship with the princess was something I really enjoyed, and her relationship with her uncle were probably my two favourite ones to see. 

I liked where it ended. While it is open ended for another book, it was a satisfying conclusion. Often books reveal certain secrets right at the end and then you don't know how it resolves, and I was really happy to see the conclusion of this one sorted out some of those secrets.
