YEESSS!!! Holy hell that was soooo good! I can't believe just how much I enjoyed this book, and how much story goodness was packed into 400 pages! 
 The premise of this book is so insane, dark and twisted with three amazing and interesting main characters. At first I thought it was going to be a little tough to jump from one perspective to the other (flips back and forth between the three queens), but Mirabella, Katherine, and Arsinoe are compelling that the story just flowed. 
 I was engaged since page #1, and the story just builds and becomes so rich as you continue to read. I was a little wary of (view spoiler)[the fact that none of the Queens really wanted to kill the other, even though it's what they were "raised for". I kept asking myself..."how is this going to work!? Come on!? But the way each and every one was backed into a situation and an erroneous belief of their hatred towards each other, just ... ghaaaaaa!!! SO GOOD! (hide spoiler)] 
 I loved, pitied and hated each queen at some point... and THAT made me so happy! That's when you know for a fact that the characters a thing of beauty! 
 I will say though, Joshep ... I could have done without his (view spoiler)[stupid drooling over Mirabella, I mean really!? ... "oh Jules I love you, you're my one and only" ... and every other second he's up in Mirabella's business ..."oh Goddess I wish I didn't want you so!" ... pffffft! Please STOP! (hide spoiler)] I guess that's another testament of how good these characters are though, cause I have strong feelings about each of them! 
 Loved loved loved ... I'm so excited there's a second book! I can't wait to get my hands on it!
