 *sigh* 
 You know I feel bad.. The story was interesting and the world was intriguing.. But the author missed a lot of intricate and story-building details. The main character had a very bland personality and it just looked like she was trying sooooooo hard to be something she's not. In addition, she would remember her secret boyfriend/courtier in very critical moments, and that ruined the whole story. The only character I liked was Tanaya, even if she ended up being one of the villains. 
 See I love cats. Cats are adorable and fluffy and I just want to sit on them. But having your main character talk to cats is kinda cheesy, to be honest. And no... having one of the cats become this super sexy bodyguard is very silly. I didn't like this book and won't be continuing the companion book to it.
