MY REVIEW
The first book of the series; A Kingdom of Stars and Shadows was a good start of the series. there was something there that i wanted to know what is going to happen next and I finished it very quickly and ordered the next book. And when I started reading second book it was a good start too but somewhere in the first half the plot was lost to me.

I was not interested to read anymore. Everything got so predictable that i would predict what he or she would say next and that's exactly would happen. I stopped reading it....I went and listen to audiobook and then came back to this book again. Because I have a blog and I purchased the book so I really wanted to read it and write about it. so I made myself finish the book

The things went wrong with this book were too much unnecessary angst and slow burn and spice that author was trying to write but it was failing. I was more interested in the plot like what was the role of vampire queen, what was the role of fae queen, how Adara's powers play in the whole scenario, what will Gavril do but no most of the book was filled with Evren trying to woo and marry Adara and he was not even being original or good at it.

Anyway the big moment finally happened at the end of the book and that got my interest. There is a big plot twist and I liked it very much and because of just that I am going to continue reading the series.
