If you like cliche romantasy, you will like this book. It is cookie-cutter, and it manages to hit every popular trope. Paedyn gives Celaena, Mare, and Juliette vibes. It’s not bad, in fact, I love her witty character, and I think Kai is decent. Kind of cliche as well. I didn’t really care about Adena’s death until I read her novella; then I cried. She was really sweet. Personally, I couldn’t finish the sequel to this book since I got bored, but overall this one was fun to read!
This book was amazing. I only have one critique. Why did Adena have to die!!! She was the cutest, most innocent character ever. I loved her, I don’t understand how she was even in the trial because I thought it was limited to contestants only. I was convinced that it had to be an illusion, and when it wasn’t, I just had to sit there in shock because what!!! The ending was crazy, I genuinely didn’t think Paedyn was capable of killing the king because he was played up as being ultra powerful during the whole book. Obviously, he wasn’t THAT powerful because she took him down after having her skin literally carved by a sword. I’m also mad at Paedyn for switching between the two brothers over and over. Like I would do the same thing because they’re both sooo dreamy… but come on girl save one for me!! Overall, AMAZING book, and I will be reading the rest of the series. 100000% Recommend!!
Overall, I enjoyed this book. This was my second time reading it. It reminded me of the Selection book series and The Hunger Games. I really liked when Paedyn brings Adena to the castle.
