I really loved this. Pulled me right out of my reading slump *knocks of every piece of wood available* 
 VAGUE SPOILERS AHEAD: 
 It was quite similar to Throne of Glass, with the magic and the fantasy and the lost/destroyed kingdom and the heir to the throne lost/on the run, but it was different enough to keep my interest. 
 I love Meira - she was a great heroine/protagonist and I'm looking forward to reading more (even if first person isn't my favourite thing ever) and Theron was the dreamiest. Please and thank you to be picking him. Mather was nice, but not my favourite for Meira - I can't stand the silent love interest who won't fucking do anything, just be broody and troubled. Ugh no. 
 Anywho: super loved this and really looking forward to reading the other two.
