** spoiler alert ** 
 This book was fast paced and adventure filled. I had trouble connecting with the main character Meira, but she's still likeable. She's believable as well since she wants confirmation of her existence and how she's needed. As a teenager, I think we all want that so that made her character more believable in this world. 
 I found the use of seasons as countries very interesting as well as Rhythms. I loved the play on cities with month names. I also really loved that the queen would be the main ruler - aside from the norm. Because of this, in the beginning chapters, I questioned if Meira could've been the queen. "Imagine she's actually Hannah's daughter." I thought, and I was right! From the very beginning. It was still presented in a good way though - subtle hints here and there as well as Sir being back alive. (YES! Cause I loved their relationship. Would love to see it more in the future.) 
 Aside from that, I'm excited to read the next installment.
