I got this book in a beacon book box and was super excited to read it. I own some other books by this author but this was my first go with reading one of her books. I really enjoyed the writing style and the pace of the story. It made for easy reading and the flow was great. I also really enjoyed our main characters Shadow and Cal. Shadow was a super witty heroine and Cal was an assassin. I really enjoyed their relationship and their super witty banter. However, this story was really lacking originality for me. It truly felt like an accumulation of most popular YA books like the red queen series by Victoria Aveyard mixed a bit with Leigh Bardugo's Smoke and Bone trilogy. I was really looking for this book to bring something different to th he table but it unfortunately did not.
