It made the world feel smaller, like the only consequence of a long-built rebellion trying to make a stand against a tyrant king is that now one girl is going to be in some nebulous form of trouble. Maybe she'll be sentenced to death, maybe she'll fall in love. Read along as she crosses some indeterminate length of desert to find out! (Spoiler: it's love)
There's very little (if any) character growth and nothing really changes in the grand scheme of things until the end, and even that felt underwhelming.
This book made me retroactively like Powerless... less.
Also, making out in a sewage drain will never be hot.

It follows Kai and Kitt as they battle with their feelings following their fathers death at the hands of Paedyn, with kai hunting her in his role as the enforcer and Kitt stepping into his new role as king.
There was definitely some shocking twists in regarding to feelings and some actions that are made, but the main consensus is it is a way of working through passion and anger following the death and destruction wreaked and ordered by the old king and the lies he may have spread.
Overall I can’t wait to get to the final book and find out how Paedyn and the brothers tale truly ends.
