review 1: Such a good little book. How I like you, little book. I love when I am in the perfect mood for a fantasy read, and I can always depend on Sherwood Smith because she is really good at writing them, thankfully.The writing, of course, was great and Smith has a way of making her characters' personalities pop from the pages. I think it's because she writes really funny dialogue. She also is really good at explaining all the political intrigue and weaving it through the plot so that every decision is a hard one, with advantages and disadvantages to both options. However, the love story still takes precedence to all the King and Queen bickering, and that's exactly how I like my romance. In the midst of an actual story with depth.My only problem with the book itself was it read a ... moreteeny bit more juvenile than Crown Duel did to me. There were quite a few EXCLAMATIONS! at the beginning than I normally like. Everyone was a bit theatrical, but they settled down rather quickly as the story progressed and I really enjoyed each and every one of them.
review 2: A good read. I did enjoy it but I was confused with the method of writing the author expressed during action scenes...like being kidnapped...it came accross as "Oh shucks, I'm being kidnapped...again...but it won't do me any good to scream." LOL! Half way through most of the action scenes I would finally figure out it was actually action! I thought the author could have expressed these moments with more vibrancy. Other than that it was a good read. less
