I have so many thoughts on this book, but I don't want to give any spoilers away! All I can say is that I'm happy that America is finding her backbone in this series. This pretty much had a chokehold on me and I binge-listened to it in a day. The drama in here was great - I especially loved the fights (can't spoil who but it was glorious!) and the tension in the scenes with the rebels...it really made me think about what their goal could be as well. America standing up to the men in her life is chef's kiss - she really needs to quit doubting herself! I'll definitely be continuing this series - I'm at the point where I need to see what happens. It's like Gossip Girl but royalty and I'm here for it!
