Blurb (From actual book): Kestra Dallisor has spent three years in exile in the Lava Fields, but that won't stop her from being drawn back into her father's palace politics. He's second-in-command to the cruel king, Lord Endrick, which makes Kestra a valuable bargaining chip. A group of relbels knows this -- and they snatch Kestra from her carriage as she reluctantly travels home.The kidnappers want her to retrieve the lost Olden Blade, the only object that can destroy the king, but Kestra is not the obedient captive they expected. One of the rebels, Simon, has his hands full as Kestra tries to foil their plot, by any means necessary. As motives shift and secrets emerge, both have to decide what -- and who -- it is they're fighting for.
Final Thoughts: The plot was amazing, but the over-romance made me mad that she'd do so much touchy-feely romance. However, if you are okay with romance, this one is amazing for plot.
Good thoughts on the book! However, the way your final thoughts was phrased seemed a bit redundant; you basically said twice that the plot was good and the romance was too gushy. I like how concise the reviews are though, and you do a good job of holding them to a high moral standard.
