My Thoughts
I truly enjoyed this book! It jumps perspectives often, but it was always enjoyable. Some of the language is a bit hard to get used to at first, but it only enhances the story once you do. I'm going to include a short little glossary, because the first books in the series don't have one.
Loch - lakeken - know
kent - knew
Righ - King
Banrigh - Queen
Prionnsa - Prince
Prionnsachan - Princes
Banprionnsa - Princess
Banprionnsachan - Princesses
uile-bhestien - faerie creatures
That's all I can remember off the top of my head. Should help you quite a bit though! I read The Tower of Ravens first, though, which had a complete glossary. I can imagine my confusion if I had started with this series! All in all, I'd reccomend it!
