Rating: 4/5
Jodi Meadows does it again! This fantastic story follows a princess trying to reclaim her kingdom, a spy infiltration mission in a palace, a magic system that involves monsters that are created from the use of magic, and of course -- adorable and compelling romance and action.
It is a Jodi Meadows novel after all ;)
I absolutely adored the Incarnate trilogy by Jodi, and was super excited to read this book, her follow up duology that features a main character with an amazing talent for forgery and a motivation to reclaim her kingdom and rescue her people.
This book would have been five stars for me (and I suspect it's sequel, which I immediately started reading because this one left off on a massive cliffhanger, will be a five star read), but similar to Jodi's first series, this book contained a lot of world building and the first half of it was a little bit slow paced. Which I personally don't mind reading, but can take a bit away from the enjoyment of the overall experience. But since the magic system is so complex, it takes a little while to build into it. So I encourage readers, if you find the first half slow in pacing and have trouble getting into it -- KEEP READING because it gets so compelling and fast paced that you won't be able to put it down.
I absolutely loved this book, and am loving the sequel so far. I am a huge fan of Jodi Meadows as an author and as a person, and her writing style and talent for building magic systems is incredible. She always crafts really interesting and compelling worlds and her skill for world building is unrivaled.
