Overall,
I have been getting away from young adult fantasy as I age, I have a more and more difficult time connecting to the characters. However I kept hearing how good this trilogy was so I figured I would give it a go. While not the freshest of story ideas, it is a compelling story that I was quickly engrossed in. There was enough foreshadowing that I wasnt surprised by most of the reveals, except that one at the end. I did not see that one coming. I will definately be continuing this series.
Recommendation,
A YA Fantasy (on the dark themed side of things) that I would say is at the older end of the spectrum for some of the darker themed elements (i.e. graphic torture) check some trigger warnings before starting. So far I am impressed and am enjoying this series.

I have NEVER read a book with a plot twist that was well hidden and put together so flawlessly that I left my guard down and genuinely stopped breathing.
I just can't think of any words to describe what I'm feeling right now...

This book surprised me in a good way. I really like the worldbuilding and Kiva as the main character is interesting, to say the least.
Tipp is the cutest character ever 🫶 and for the most part, I really liked the found family
Seriously, I can’t stop thinking about that ending. It blew my mind even though I guessed most of it. Amazing. The narrator is everything here.
I’m pretty sure I dreamed of this book today
Mother is dead.
I’m on my way to Vallenia.
It’s time to reclaim our kingdom.
