Having not read the #SevenRealms series before this, I didn't exactly know what I was getting into and it took me a while to get into this book. However, this book was pretty great, and once I got past Lila and Ash's awkward escape (lots of questions about that part) at the University. I got more into the book. I'm don't think I'm hooked enough to continue the series. But I am intrigued by the Seven Realms Series now.
