I really enjoy reading this book because of its plot twists and how she cuts off eugenides hand and then gives him to Eddis as if it is no problem and also how he joked with Eddisit really is amazing how he can talk to his queen like that as if she was his friend, I defiantly would recommend this book as it is very interesting and it will intrigue you .

I LOVE this book!!! It is a thrilling read and I honestly stayed up all night to finish it. However, you should read this series in order, starting with The Thief.
