On my sixteenth birthday, I’ll become a
murderer.
I don’t want to kill anyone but it’s my duty as
princess.
To stop the threat of the Cursed. The ones who
destroyed our planet and most life.
If I don’t participate in the ritual to seal my
initiation into the ruling council and solidify my mother’s empire, everyone
will figure out the truth.
My truth.
That I’m a Cursed.
It gets worse.
My only hope rests in the hands of Ryker, whose
sister I sentenced to death.
My Review: Ummm...What did I just read?
The blurb sounded good and the cover is lovely, but thats about it for the list of good things.
I just had to leave this book as DNF. I couldn't even get halfway through.
You kind of just jump right into the story. No real background, watching the characters develop, things jumping around. It started off as if you were reading it as the next book in the series and not the first.
The idea is there but it's too all over the place to make it work for me.
Based on how this went as the first book, I'm going to leave the rest of the series as DNF. I just can't justify a reason to give it a chance.
