I am in love with the characters from this book! Faron and Elara work so hard to do the right thing for their nation as well as for each other. It is the driving force in this book.
I love that this starts after the war where the hidden princess becomes queen and the chosen one does their thing to save the nation. Seeing how the chosen one and the queen are working to live after this war was a refreshing spin on a fantasy trope.
The world building was sometimes confusing because I wasn't sure how technologically advanced they were supposed to be. The world felt vaguely Caribbean, but I did not feel that there was a strong Jamaican feeling in the book. There were dragons and they were important, but I would have liked just a little more of them.
To me these complaints are minor compared to the characters. I have to know what is going to happen to them! But now I have to wait until 2025. :(
