The premise was interesting but ultimately the writing didn't work for me. The writing made the world seem ordinary and boring. The world is on the smaller scale, which I didn't expect and ended up having so many questions about this world, the Valtia and the Kupari. The first 80 pages were hard to get through, but if you push through them the plot picks up pretty quick from there. I have a neutral opinion when it comes to the protagonist; I don't hate her but I don't love her - she doesn't have a personality to me and so doesn't show up on my radar. I'm not sure if I'll read the sequel. I want to know what happens but the writing makes the reading process harder to deal with. I really wished I'd liked it more because the idea of magic choosing the next queen was really interesting. If you liked Sea of Shadows by Kelley Armstrong, you might like this.
