So this book is interesting, there were bits that i got a little borred. Then i would say to myself i will quit this book if it does not pick up in the next 20 pages. Then it would, i found al the politics anoying untill i realised it was worked out so far ahead i found it fasinating. So by the end i am still along for he ride. 

Yess, all of it could have been compacted a little more. The relationship is draging on and on even if they dont get there emotionally they cleary are attracted t each other move that allong. 

Wy not go to her mothers family to learn about her gift. Why is he teaching her as another shadowmage. I know the romabce did need them to spend some one on one time together but still, it does not make a lot of sence. Especialy since apperrantly a large part of there world depends on it. 

Will she hurt him and betray him, will he do the same and try to kill her like his father wants. Or will they realise the feelings they have for each other and that they could realy be a fource together? i think i will find out in februari, i hope! If its not a boring we are going back around in circles sequel, pleas  no 🙏
