When i first got this book i didn't read anything about it and was shocked to learn it wasn't a direct sequel especially since The Sin Eater's Daughter ended on a bit of a cliffhanger and i was really looking forward to reading about Twylla, Lief and Merek again but after that disappointment i was pleasantly surprised at how much i loved Errin's character and the way she fought to survive against all of the odds she survives and i will admit is a bit too trusting i mean in times where you have The Sleeping Prince roaming the world you wouldn't trust someone who wears a hood and you don't See their face for 3 moons (months). 

I would definitely like some clearing up of what happened in the time from the end of The Sin Eaters Daughter and The Sleeping Prince because its a bit confusing to start with but you do sort of put it to the back of your mind and work through it. Character wise i do wish we saw more of the old characters and not just the last 100 pages and even then that's just one of the characters, the new characters i loved Errin she was an awesome characters perspective to read from but Silas i could give or take i wanted him to have a bit more character but for me he was a tad too bland. I did love reading about Lief's childhood and the way he was before he was a solider and i just felt so much sadness for Errin with everything she deals with, especially her mother i personally could never do what she did i really couldn't and to do it with no help at all is the sign of a really strong character. 

Overall i loved this book and there has too be another book it ended on such a cliffhanger and if it does have another book i will be pre ordering it because this series is getting better and better it really is if you haven't started this series yet i highly recommend it, it is one of those rare one beautiful inside and out. 

Until Next Time
Happy Reading
