If you like fast-paced, fantasy books with spice, enemy races, and making sense of legends I think you may enjoy this book. You can tell the author spent a lot of time trying to build up the mystery surrounding the main character and the situation she was thrust into, especially to continue with the series. 

I simply think this book just wasn't for me, and that's okay. There were great elements to the story but it lacked in execution. I would have preferred the beginning to take a bit more time before Celestina started traveling with the army so we had the chance to really get to know her and her motivations. As a whole, I would have preferred the characters to have more development so they felt more dimensional to me. 

Thank you to author Dororthy McFalls for the eARC.
