Okay, I have to admit, at first I did not really like this book. I thought it was a little slow in the beginning and that there was not enough world-building for me to understand what was happening or to connect with any of the characters. However, I persisted and kept reading, and I am so happy that I did! As the book continued, I began to become more and more invested in the characters. I loved the way the each chapter would switch between Rielle’s and Eliana’s perspectives, ending each chapter with a little bit of a cliffhanger that made me want to keep reading to see what would happen. The ending of this book has made me very excited to read the next book in this series. I’m interested to learn more about the magical aspects of the world Legrand has created, and I believe we will see more of that in Kingsbane!
