Synopsis:

Children have been disappearing from across Menaiya for longer than Amraeya ni Ansarim can remember. When her friend's sister is snatched, Rae knows she can't look away any longer - even if that means seeking answers from the royal court, where her country upbringing and clubfoot will only invite ridicule.

Yet at court she discovers an ally in the foreign princess, who recruits her as an attendant. So Rae begins to seek answers in the dark city streets, finding unexpected help in a thief with secrets of his own. But treachery runs deep, and the more Rae uncovers, the more she endangers the kingdom itself.

Review:

I am very happy to have been able to read this book early thanks to Netgalley and the publisher. I adored Thorn and couldn't wait to get back into the world Intisar created.

I knew this was a companion novel but I didn't realise how much we would get to see the main characters from Thorn again and I think that only added to my enjoyment. I adore Rae, she was an incredible character so fiesty and strong yet also caring and honest. She was absolutely a joy to read. The storyline was engrossing and I really loved the new characters as well as the ones we already knew, it was a really good mix. Totally evil cliffhanger to end on though, I warn you now.

I would 100% recommend this book whether you have read Thorn or not but I do think you get more out of it if you have read it. 

I gave this book 4.5 out of 5 stars (I couldn't bring myself to give 5 stars when that cliffhanger is killing me).

I was sent this book by Netgalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
