abrasrose said Disappointment. This book was a big disappointment after the previous two. I'm not going to go into a lot of detail because if you've read the first two books, you'll still want to read this one.Basically, I think the romance took up way too much space in a complicated story. This is particularly true of the lame romantic conflict at the end. This book is at its climax and the story for all three books is being wrapped up and suddenly there's a lame romantic conflict out of nowhere.

She also never expected to decide the destiny of her sisters, of her people, of the Twelve Kingdoms and the Thirteenth. That her father would receive her with a foreign witch at one side and a hireling captain at the other—that soldiers would look on her as a woman, not as a warrior. A girl grudgingly honed to leadership, not beauty, to bear the sword and honor of the king.Ursula’s loyalty is as
