It didn't take me long to come around to Rose as a character. I found her a bit annoying in the beginning of the book, but as soon as she learned more about her history and the truth of the kingdom and Willem, she was fully onboard with making a fairier kingdom and I found myself loving her. I hope we get to see more of her relationship with Celeste in the next book because the way that
I started to like Wren a bit more at 80% of the book. For the most part, her behaviour and her treatment of everyone except Tor was a bit tiring to read. For most of the book, she was so adamant that Rose couldn't be queen and it had to be her and yet her first response to any obstacle was to consider murder. Although, I did like what we get to see of her relationships with Banba and Shen.
Even though he didn't have much page time, Shen had me swooning. Tor, on the other hand, was so painfully dull that his scene at the end made me feel nothing, if anything it just made me love Elske even more.
