It was a fast and entertaining read.
Okay, so the 'kidnapping' in the book took less than 1/4 of book to resolve, but the world building done by the author was intriguing if a little lighter than most. However, given the length of the book it was decent.
The characters were intriguing, although I would have liked a little bit more back story on both the Anton and Nerissa, the co-ruling King and Queen who were elected, not married. There's a lot of potential for a really amazing world here.
And the romance element? Oooooh child, it was smoking hot!
