Review:
First Impressions
You have no idea how excited I was for this book. I immediately dug into it and couldn't stop reading until I'd finished. It immediately started out strong and it kept it up throughout the book!
Characters
I really think this is a strong character development book. We get to see a lot more of Richard's sister, who turns out to be pretty cool. Richard himself doesn't play as big of a role, but from what we see, the reader really sees him grow up and become a king. Also, I really love Richard. Now on to Emrys. She rocks this book. Even without magic, she is made of awesome. Emrys really learns how to work with what she has, which is more than she ever thought possible. It gets a little stressful in the middle, but I liked where the characters end up.
Writing
This series is plain fun. When I need a book that will take me to my happy place, this is it. The book is fast paced, and doesn't have a down moment. I'm never bogged down in details, but it paints a full picture for me as well. The story is more diverse and it's fun to see more of the world outside the palace.
World Building
As I said, you really see outside the palace. It's cool to see the rest of England as it is after the end of All That Glows. Fans of the series know that everything changes drastically after that book. The world is on the brink of either going crazy or picking itself back up again, and it's so cool to join Emrys as she tries to help it put its pieces back together.
