Elodie lives in a land that has been impoverished by drought, so when her father promises her hand in marriage to a prince of a rich kingdom, she is all for it. I think what I really admired about Elodie is her tenacity to do anything for her people.
What Elodie doesn’t know is that this rich, beautiful, golden kingdom and its golden boy prince are going to leave her as a sacrifice to a dragon. This is how their land stays so opulent and thriving.
What nobody expects is Elodie fighting back.
I liked this book. But I didn’t love it. I felt that Elodie’s character could be more fleshed out with maybe a more interesting personality. Much of this seemed a bit superficial and forced, which is not something I enjoy. However, I love the idea and the strength of this character.
