My tiny heart is broken but its fine. I feel like there's another leg to this story but I'm excited to see what Leigh puts out next. I honestly can't wait. This series was such a masterpiece. I laughed and cried and I don't think I'll ever forget this series. Its definitely among my all time favorites. Its going to be so hard to let go. But no mourners, no funerals.

This book hurt my heart. I want moooooooore. Review coming soon!

I NEED MOOOOOOORRRREEEEE.

5/5 stars

I was hooked after chapter 3. The world was so interesting and well built and I loved the power dynamics. I loves the MC and all of the supporting characters. This is not a coherent review help me. I just loved this book a lot.

I LOVED THIS BOOK JUST AS MUCH AS I THOUGHT I WOULD.

The world is so rich and magical. the characters are well developed. A lot of things happened that I hasn't expected and some things didn't that I had.

this was such a vague review. I'll write a better one later

I spent a hot minute debating the rating I was going to put on this book. I didn't love it. I didn't hate it. But I had some major problems with it.

Upsides: fast paced, intriguing, some fun characters, hella diverse, queer characters, just the right amount of mystery to keep you going

Downsides: drug addiction/dealing talked about casually, instalove, cheating, borderline incest

I'll talk about the good first. This book was so diverse. It had characters of all colors and ethnicities and orientations. The book is 450 pages but it passes quickly. The mystery of the prologue drives you to the end because you need to know who fell.

Now for the things I didn't like.

I found a few of the characters to be very whiny and over dramatic. Others very fun to read about. There was character growth for one of the whiny, dramatic characters but another just continued to get more annoying and I had a hard time tolerating her.

And then there was the cheating element. I HATE this in YA books. Its not a good introduction to what's supposed to be a healthy relationship for the character.

And the very strange borderline incest. It was uncomfortable af to read about. I was curious to see how it played out though and I can't say I'm pleased. I was rooting for someone else.

All in all, it was a really long set up novel for the sequel. Which I will likely be reading. After about 200 pages, my enjoyment went up so much more as characters finally began to change. Its definitely not a book for everyone.

I'm really made that I traded away my arc of Traitor to the Throne now

I was very confused going into this comic but the complex world and intriguing politics made it worth it. I'm excited to pick up the next volume.

The writing in this book was so beautiful. It could be a little slow but the mystery keeps you going.
I honestly loved it and can't wait to see more from this author.

Fast paced and a cool take (pun intended) on ATLA-like magic. But it didn't blow me away

I JUST WANT TO KNOW THE LOGIC BEHIND THE PRINCE'S CHOICE OKAY
