This was a different read that's for sure. I'm still on the fence for how I feel about it. Lilith shows all the characteristics of a privileged person who just so happens to be living poorly. The arrogance she shows when dealing with almost every situation is funny up until you realize she doesn't have the skills or backbone to back it up. She hates the establishment but still uses the benefits. The amount of times she cries was almost a record in a book honestly. The only time I felt it was warranted really she didn't actually cry.... that much. The other times was annoying. Her as a character was annoying actually. Zahareiv seeing her as more than a petulant child was interesting. I hope in the next book she is better as a character. Other than that, the actual story of what is going is interesting. The gates, the prophecy, the patriarchal society that has to depend on the women they subjugate for power.... very interesting. I want more and less of Lilith being annoying.
The spice was ok. Because I found Lilith so annoying it was hard to enjoy the moments with her and Zahareiv. Still would give it a 3 out of 5 for spice. Overall, I like this author a lot so I'm going to continue with this series with the hopes that Lilith gets better. The world this story inhabits however is really interesting! I want to see where things are going. I would recommend this with that as a qualifier.
