I had a good time with this one. All the plot twists really keeps you glued to the book and flipping the pages. Hesina was a pretty interesting character, but I wish I had seen a little more development. Being crowned queen at 17 is not easy and I wish I could have seen her grow into the queen she needed to be for her nation. I also wished we got to know more about Akira. He was just kind of there and there really wasn't much background about him.

The plot and worldbuilding were all great, but the characters felt dull so it was a bit of a miss for me.
