_______________________________

Very romance driven YA fantasy book that features an Usurper as the male main protagonist and a heroine that comes close to the Holy Mother/Queen archetype as described by @ohtze in her fantastic Kill the King and take the Crown meta ( https://fuck-yeah-monsters-and-villains.tumblr.com/post/169112732992/kill-the-king-and-take-the-crown-kylo-ren-rey ) about the Reylo dynamic in TLJ.

The book itself is not my favourite as it’s a little bit too teen oriented (mostly character descriptions) for someone as ancient as myself. The premise is fantastic though and being a sucker for the good old girl going underground trope I still enjoyed it.
