The first half of this book was a bit of a drag but when I hit that halfway mark, I couldn’t put it down! The last 100 pages made it all worth it. I had no idea where this adventure was going to take me and I’m so glad I stuck it out to see. Hoping the next book has more of the Fool, I need to know more about him and his room full of trinkets. 

If you’re looking for an action packed fantasy with romance, this first book won’t be it for you. This was all political/war building, magic system building, and relationship building.
