I have heard that for mortals, the feeling of falling in love is very like the feeling of fear.

But the new High King does everything in his power to humiliate and undermine her, even as his fascination with her remains undimmed. Meanwhile, a traitor in the court is scheming against her. Jude must fight for her life and the lives of those she loves, all while battling her own complicated feelings for Cardan. Now a year and a day seems like no time at all . . .

An enjoyable read, lots of twists and turns. The narrator is very good at different voices, it really sounds like different characters. Although sometimes her voice for Jude sounds a bit childish, and you can hear the change between recording takes at times.

I can’t remember much from this book even though I enjoyed the romance part a lot more. The plot was kind of confusing in places and I felt myself struggling to remember what was happening. I don’t think it was plot-driven as book one and this book and the narration were still entertaining nonetheless.
