I wanted to like this book more than I did.
I've read this one and the first one in this series, and overall, I would say that they are heavy in fairy politics and you have to follow a lot of characters names who are not characters in the story, in order to even have a hope of following it. The politics are kind of boring, too, and not very well explained.
And there is not enough interesting stuff to make up for it. Not much action, not much romance, not much magic. Just a lot of the main character going places in different glamours and people tell her stuff. I had to make myself finish it, I didn't really care how it ended as long as it did end, and soon.
I've read the Connor Gray series by the same author, which is set in the same world, and I like those more. The main character is just more interesting, there is more magic and action in them, and although there is lots of fairy politics in them too, it is both easier to follow and more sidelined in the Connor Gray books.
