I loved the concept of this story, a kingdom that is completely ruled by women? Sign me up! However, I feel like it could have been done better. The forced “best friend” relationship between Aeve and Merinor? Ummm that could have easily and should have been a romantic relationship! I ship it for sure and I was annoyed by how much the author forced the “oh we're just best friends” aspect. I don't know if this changes in future volumes or not, but I probably won't continue with this series. I was also against the song parodies. It just annoyed me. I also don't really like when there is “music” in books because I don't know what the melody is, so if I didn't recognize the song I was confused. Overall I think that this book just really fell flat for me. With something that could have been so amazing I was really disappointed.
