This story felt much more complex than a lot of YA books, even though I feel as if the ending just went back to the standard YA book vibe. Happy, romantic ending. I am not the biggest fan of it. I wish the book had ended the day before her execution, keeping us in the dark if she would survive. I was also quite disappointed by the spoiler in the title. It is not until the last chapters in the book that Asha realizes this herself. I think I would have preferred to figure this out myself. However, this is mostly personal preferences and these things do not make the story bad in any way.
I enjoyed the more complex characters and the betrayal of the king, who I believe was not just plain evil, but had a twisted mind due to his upbringing.
I am not sure if I will continue this series, I really enjoyed this story, but the story also feels finished for me.
