The last 50% of this was much much stronger and more enjoyable than the first. I felt like there was a fair bit of repetition in the first half, particularly around Roses blossoming relationships with the princes and their rejection of those situations. 

I loved Farron’s character development, from the first book he was the weakest of them all, and I really enjoyed how he came into his own within this book. I also really enjoyed the interactions with Caspian and he absolutely needs to be included more ASAP. 

Kel is still a bit of a twat, to put it honestly. But I do believe he has strong reasons for his behaviour (albeit most likely due to incorrect information or beliefs). 

Dayton is a sweetheart and I love him with my whole heart. 

Onto book 3!
