Good evening followers!
Let me start off by saying this book was SOOO hyped up! I watched vlog reviews all saying it has the best female heroine ever written and how amazing Calaena is. Well sorry to disappoint but I wasn't wowed and found this book over hyped. I LIKED it, but I didn't LOVE it. I didn't find her annoying and arrogant like some people, but I didn't think she was that big of a badass either. I probably would've enjoyed this book more if it wasn't so hyped up. I feel like all the hype took away from it because I was expected to be amazed and wasn't. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't the best female lead I ever read either. I disliked the prince and felt that Chaol was a much better fit and I personally liked him much more. I feel like she's just a novelty idea to the prince and something "different" to attract him. I also think Calaena just wants attention because she's used to being feared and is into the prince just because he's there and flinging himself at her. So that was disappointing to me. This is a fault I find in her character. I'd personally rather her not be interested in men and then finally one day find someone she just couldn't deny she had a thing for. I think Chaol was more true in intentions and more centered and a healthier fit for her personally.
It was one of those books that if I get the rest of the series from the library or free then I'll read them, but I won't go out and spend money on them because I just wasn't very wowed by this book.
