I really enjoyed this debut fantasy. Strong, fierce female character, Kelsea, who inherits a throne about which she knows nothing. Once she learns of the evil pact her mother, the previous Queen, who she never met, made with the Red Queen she rapidly begins punching holes in the evil deal. As another reviewer said, it's nice to read a fantasy with a strong female lead that doesn't involve a romance. There are hints of things to come and I am excited for the next book!

I wasn't sure what to expect with this. I hadn't heard much of this until the news that EW was going to be in it and all I can say is bring on book two. Quite an interesting world she's creating with this.

It was just too violent for my taste at this time in my life. Maybe I'll pick it up again later.
