I swear this book got pretty darn deep when I was reading it. Like, maybe not so much that I was having a crisis or anything like that, but I just had a lot of thoughts about this novel. Good, crazy good thoughts about this. I’m kind of bummed that it comes out in April because then I have to wait even longer for the sequel!

I was already felt so angry for Nei because of the arranged marriage that she had to get into in order to bring peace to her people in the Shattered Isles, and yet even though she was married to the Fae family for a whole freaking year, that didn’t seem to happen. That was in the very beginning of the novel, and I was already heated for her. I could feel how angry she was and how she could have felt like she was failing at her job because even though it was already a year, nothing changed. Her people were being enslaved pretty much, and even with her position as Queen, nobody seemed to care.

This was just such an interesting book, and I’m so glad that I had the opportunity to read the first novel early. I hope to reread it again before the second one comes out and then see how the rest of the series plays out.
