”You can come back, to be by my side...”
I was under the impression that this book was going to be from the POV of the Queen’s Assassin only, and god I wish I would’ve been right. Not only was Shadow super annoying, stubborn and hard headed, but she turned out to be the MC which was a bummer. I like when the MC or main POV in books are guys, since it doesn’t happen often.
It was a bit confusing that Shadow’s POV was in first person but Cal’s was in third person? I’m not sure why that is but it bothered me in the beginning.
The main issue in this book for me was Shadow. She’s pretending to be Cals apprentice but she’s tried calling all the shots and got them into danger more than once. He was the QUEEN’S ASSASSIN! He knew what he was doing but she argued and got offended every time he tried to tell her the smarter option. And no this wasn’t a case of men trying to control women, this was a skilled assassin/fighter trying to tell her the smartest way to survive, with her constantly arguing with him. It was exhausting for even the reader!
Other than that I enjoyed this story. I was intrigued from the moment Cal saved Shadow in the forest and if shadow wasn’t so annoying in this book, this would’ve been a book I’d be unable to put down. The romance happened kind of fast (although not instant) and I enjoyed it. I actually thought they were cute together. I was a little confused by the ending honestly but that’s even more reason to wait for the second book, haha.
Overall I enjoyed most of the book and the ending was exciting and actually has me excited for the second book
3.5 stars!
