A Queen became a Mercenary because of her five years past live is quite thrilling and making heart sob especially knowing the fact about what happened with her past relationship and what her current husband did to her. Knowing she carried her scars and tried to conceal it, feeling old when she only got 30, I feel you well woman.
As for the characters, I don't know if it really the author intention to create a morally gray character or just some missing points of the development. But I do hate sometimes with Aelia and Caiden because of dishonesty of their feeling towards each other and the fact that Caiden didn't fight for Aelia then end up married someone else. Meanwhile I found Tharan and Aelia are matching each other.
The writing style is comfortable to read though there still lots of engagement can be built. And despite the character development is missing some points, I enjoy the whole story. I wish there more of Caiden viewpoint about his past live and his feeling towards Aelia. Same goes to Aelia, it would be nice if her past is well-detailed so as a reader, we can bond well to Aelia. Remember that our main characters are on their 30, there should be more consideration and obstacles in their journey whether is personal-internal conflict or external challenges, everything should not be easy sometimes. Even I wish the history of their world and humanity could be more explored.
