Well, I liked this more than The High King's Golden Tongue. There is an actual relationship development under not so great circumstances.Because of the blurb I spent almost one third of the story waiting for this to happen - ' But before he can settle into his new life, tragedy strikes, and Vellem isn't certain he's up to rebuilding the ruin left in its wake' , so it is possible I missed something. The said tragedy doesn't happen right away. I don't consider one third a small portion of theNow, first things first: OMG THAT CUTE AND ADORBS DRAGON. ALL THE HEART EYES. I WANTS IT. Ahhhhhhhh. Seriously, though, this book has the best dragon Ive ever read about. Hes still a small one, and hes so quirky and knows exactly what he wantswhich is Vellem as his friendand he cuddles and is territorial. I love him so much, and if there is a thing I have to complain about in this book, it is that there could be more of him. When he appeared the first time my whole facestricke that, my whole
Dropped at 39%.This started off as a very compelling and interesting read. There is quite a bit of world building involved in this story and the characters are full of personality.

4.5 stars for the story, 1 star for the editing (Less than three press, why aren't you learning anything? It's really a shame)
4.5 starsLovely read that got a lot heavier than expected.Read the full review on the blog!Content warnings include: violence, PTSD, war situations, events that can be compared to modern day terrorist attacks, amputation, domestic abuse, child abuse, execution, hostage situations, attempted assassination.From the very start it's clear that this is not a light-hearted book. Vellem's father, a Duke who has fallen from grace, is a violent and abusive alcoholic, while his mother is spends most of
Some things were too easily resolved, but overall I really liked the story and most of all the characters. Looking forward to book 2!
Enjoyed this story a lot. The arranged marriage setting is great and the political intrigue is very good. As far as plot a couple of things sure work out too conveniently to set up the story and set up the end. (view spoiler)[How Perdith becomes King and How the situation with Ruemri and Belemere is resolved (hide spoiler)]Perdith is a bit mercurial for my taste and surprisingly Vellen is at times too passive. My only real grudge however was with the time jumps in the story. I don't begrudge
