I really liked this book. Lia is a princess, but she's way more than that, and all she wants is to be free. So she and her best friend run away to a little town, just barely outside the kingdom's grasp. And that's when her new life starts. 
 Lia is a character that I liked. I didn't agree with all her choices, but she's smart and she stands up for herself. I also enjoyed her friendship with Pauline and the other women that work at the inn. It is nice to see women helping and caring for each other. We got to stick together! 
 We've got two other pov: The Prince and The Assassin, both interested in our heroine. We also have two names, Rafe and Kaden, but we don't know who is who. And I have to say, I guessed wrong. (view spoiler)[I really thought she had fallen for the assassin, but I was glad Rafe was the Prince. It's the simpler way, but who cares? (hide spoiler)] 
 At first I cared more for Kaden than Rafe, and didn't get why Lia favored Rafe. But I changed my mind as the book progressed. 
 The book isn't fast paced but I enjoyed it. It also gets a bit more exiting at the last chapters. It ends in a huge cliffhanger, and I can't wait to see how the story continues!
