In the Alskad Empire, nearly all are born with a twin, two halves to form one wholeyet some face the world alone. The singleborn A rare few are singleborn in each generation, and therefore given the right to rule by the gods and goddesses. Bo Trousillion is one of these few, born into the royal line and destined to rule. Though he has been chosen to succeed his great-aunt, Queen Runa, as the leader of the Alskad Empire, Bo has never felt equal to the grand future before him. The diminished When one twin dies, the other usually follows, unable to face the world without their other half. Those who survive are considered diminished, doomed to succumb to the violent grief that inevitably destroys everyone whose twin has died. Such is the fate of Vi Abernathy, whose twin sister died in infancy. Raised by the anchorites of the temple after her family cast her off, Vi has spent her whole life scheming for a way to escape and live out what's left of her life in peace. As their sixteenth birthdays approach, Bo and Vi face very different futuresone a life of luxury as the heir to the throne, the other years of backbreaking work as a temple servant. But a long-held secret and the fate of the empire are destined to bring them together in a way they never could have imagined.

Dialogue heavy and more telling versus showing.

Actual Rating! 2.5 Stars

Overall I don‘t feel like this was a bad book but it dragged on and it seems like it took forever for something to actually happen. I am hoping that the pace will pick up in the next book now that we have got the story up and running. I have a bunch of questions that I want answered so while I wasn‘t blown away by the first book, I do plan on continuing the series.

Love this cover too. Sad that the eArc doesn‘t have any cover art. Just a boring old text galley. However I‘m through chapter 5 already.

You probably all know us bookish sorts can‘t finish one book without starting another. Here‘s my new read. I think my picker is back on track now. This is way different from the last two as it‘s dystopian fantasy. Being a connoisseur of several genres I enjoy switching things up. I‘m really getting into this one so far. The premise of a world where your worth is dependent on not only being born a twin but on both twins surviving intrigues me.

Our enormous cycad is about to flower. But I‘m not sure either my #currentread or the flower itself are being shown in their best light in this picture. Also #thorny. This #aprilrelease2018 from #harlequinteen has very good ratings on GR, so I am diving in. #fantasy #yaliterature #preview #rso
