The political intrigue was my favourite part of this book. I occasionally wanted to shake Jude and Taryn for their naive blundering around, and I can only hope they'll wise up in the next book. Jude has already started, though her position is pretty precarious. The romance stuff wasn't that interesting to me, but I'm willing to overlook that in favour of farie lore and backstabbing.

2024 reread: I really enjoyed this reread. Jude is such a fun character, and I enjoyed the romance more this time around.
