Woven into a story about a woman attempting to break free of restrictions put upon her to retain her “purity” and secure a betrothal, is a story about the hunger for power. Throughout the book, the different kingdoms are fighting for control over the others, and are not always transparent about it.
This story is intriguing and I’m curious to see where it goes. There were pieces that really worked for me and others that did not. I will say, this book took me twice as long as it usually does to get through and I’m not sure why.
What I liked
- The tension between the FMC and MMC is delicious
- The magic system is different and quite interesting
- Who doesn’t love a fierce and strong FMC… it made me very happy
What I didn’t like
- We were missing info about this world such as:
* How does the technology work?
* Tell us more about the different realms
* Who are the different gods and goddesses and what are they over/what are their specialities?
I am hoping some of these questions will be answered in future books.
