I enjoyed reading this from Taryns point of view, and it did make me understand her a bit more. I still dislike her and a lot of this book just felt like her making pointless excuses.

I read this book for school, which I think was good since I probably never would have started it otherwise, and allowed me to analyze this book. I enjoyed reading it.

i really enjoyed reading this book. I didn’t expect oak to be part of the bloodline, or for Jude to make Cardan king, or all the bloodshed of the coronation. I was so annoyed with Taryn and Locke in this book.

The beginning of this book was kind of boring, but I really enjoyed the parts where the characters were writing their own things, and the novella.

I really liked this book, so many things happened that I didn’t expect, i would have liked more sokeefe, or really just more Keefe in general, but the plot was really interesting.

This book was really more of a filler book, and is setting up for lots of things in Legacy. 



I didn't expect for Sophie to be unmatchable, although it does make sense. The Vacker Legacy was a big letdown, and it doesn't really explain why Alvar is so dedicated to the Neverseen.

it was a good book, but it wasn’t like amazing. It wasn’t the best thing I ever read, but it’s also a pretty good book. Need to read the whole series. Would recommend.
