Its presence has been brewing in the background since the second book, so it was nice to see it finally make its grand entrance into the story. One was the introduction of the Kraeshian Empire, the homeland of Prince Ashur and Princess Amara Cortas.

There were a couple things I loved about this series. While plenty of the twists and the forbidden romance continued to pique my interest, there was just a lot more aspects that I just wasn’t entirely agreeing with. I feel like there was a shift in the overall feel of the books by this point, and the overall story had started to move in a direction that maybe I wasn’t so fond of, at least concerning certain subplots or character arcs. There were plenty of parts that I immensely enjoyed, and still can say I loved reading it like the other titles I guess for me it was mainly my disappointment with the direction the series was starting to move in at this point. Believe me, I was just as surprised at my reaction to this fourth book in one of my favorite YA fantasy series, but to be honest, I just couldn’t help but be disappointed in this title a little bit.
