When Jacs first receives a note from a stranger Conner from the upper realm she is delighted to have found a pen pal to share their differences growing up in two different worlds. 
As years go on, and the divide between their two worlds becomes ever so more then just geographical. Jacs soon learns to save the people of the lower realm from prejudice and suffering she must venture in disguise to the upper realm to compete to be queen. 
What she soon learns is there is more danger in this realm then others and no position of power is safe. 

This was a fantastic fantasy novel where themes of prejudice and human rights and brought to the forefront in the world of Jacs and Conner. 
There was a fantastic array of characters that helped to develop a story where it wasn’t the character flaws being the centre of the novels focus but instead the flaws of society. 

We ended on somewhat of a cliff hanger and I look forward to reading the next instalment.
