I was lucky to receive an advance copy of this book via Bookish First.

I have read a few other books by this author and so I was pretty sure that I would enjoy this book as well. And I did! The story is told in two alternate viewpoints, that of Cal and Shadow. Cal is the Queen's Assassin and Shadow is a girl with a secret who wants to be an apprentice to Cal and join the Guild in protecting the kingdom of Renovia.

Shadow was a strong character and I liked reading about her, except when she got envious during hers and Cal's mission to find the one that was trying to bring war to the kingdom. Their love seemed a little bit forced and fast too.

Cal was deadly and cool and I think he got the short end of the stick a lot from the queen when he did what she wanted and then got punished for it. Seems silly to do that to your personal assassin.

I want to know more about the kingdom and its history, especially with the magic. And since the book ended with the cliffhanger about the villain, I really want to read the next book and see if he gets what is deserved. It was a fun book to read and I look forward to the next one.
