I'll start by saying there's a lot of backstory to this novel that gets a bit confusing in the beginning, but Melissa de la Cruz really weaves a wonderful story!
Shadow wants to be an assassin. She is determined, witty, and self-sufficient: someone you can't help but root for.
"Do the most good"
Cal is the Queen's personal assassin bound by a blood oath made by his father.
"There is no escape from a blood vow"
Their worlds merge; creating an adventurous and sometimes humorous story.
I had no idea what to expect from this book, and I was pleasantly surprised! The flow of writing (once you get by the history) draws you in and is paced in a way that keeps you wanting to turn each page. If you enjoy royal fantasy, edge-of-your-seat action, tortured love, and sarcastic banter; this is a definite buy.
And, the twists near the end...I did not see those coming!
This book ripped my heart out, stomped on it, and left me hanging on a cliff. 😭 Need the next book now!
