This was just...not that good, which is a shame, because I'd quite liked the series up to this point. But between the whiplash tones of the romance (which screwed up what had been building for four volumes), the excruciating nature of Ruri building a hot spring amusement facility that no one in her new kingdom really wanted and mostly served to show how she could modernize society, and a fairly random war, this tanked hard. I'm probably being too generous with the stars, but I do still appreciate that the author brought Ruri's parents and grandfather to her new world, even if it was drastically underused as a plot point.

In the end, the plot came full circle. By the end, we understand why certain things occurred the way that they did.... One persons journey through depression can change a multitude of lives.


Essentially, everyone receives their happy ending by extremely convenient circumstances. When I say convenient, I mean that magic fairy dust must have been used to write up the ending to the rollercoaster of an adventure. I will probably never read this series again, but it is fun for a light read.

The writing style bothered me more in this book, as did the stupidity of the characters. Even previously pretty smart people were acting absolutely idiotic in this one. The writing style was overly modern and informal, especially for people that were royalty in a historical fantasy setting. The conflicts and reveals were completely predictable and some were pretty darn cliche. There were a lot of places where someone would say something but then completely contradict themselves within the same paragraph, or they actually meant the complete opposite of what they'd already said. Another HUGE problem is the glorifying of abusive, controlling relationships, and the repeated excuses given for a person who caused events that included murder, assassination, war, and kidnapping. Even the art inserts weren't as good as in the previous novels.

For the most part, I enjoyed this series, but this was a very lackluster end. I won't be reading anything by this author again, most likely.

Finally some communication! Also am glad her family has all made it to her. I'm curious to see what story lines they go with for the last 2 books, seeing as we seem to have discovered all the mysteries already...

I hope there is more!

Though I feel all of the bad guys have been taken care of I'd still love another book if only to learn more about their love for each other.

Sadly, I won’t be returning to this series. After book two, it’s been a struggle and I’ve met my match with book five.

This was a struggle to finish. I love this series but v4 and v5 felt so BAD, just painfully slow, uninteresting, predictable. I don't think I will read 6+ of the novel.
