A bit too slow at times but still a good reading. There are a lot of questions that keep you foward...too bad that they go unanswered...then again this is just the first book in a trilogy so it's normal. 
 I now really want to know who the Fetch is, who's Kelsea father, what's the Red Queen up to, what the black thing exactly is, how the jewels works...*sighs* I know I'll have to wait. 
 I gave the book 3 stars because apart from being slow...it lacked some decent romance which for me would have made the constant babbling about politics and how to become a Queen a bit more bearable lol. 
 All in all I liked Kelsea and her struggle to become a decent Queen, while gaining the populace and her own guards' respect along the way.
