The plot of the story would have been good. However, the development of the characters is lacking.

Asher 10/2 is an unfit king, he has no influence and power. He is either waiting to be saved or is busy with himself. He is largely irrelevant to the story.

Cora 10/5 does not provide any real performance as a healer despite being praised, sometimes portrayed as a lost child, sometimes as a heroine. It is difficult to connect with her because she herself does not know who she wants to be.

Becky and Kane 10/10 are strong, determined and think logically. Without them, the story would be dead.

Silas 10/7 had potential, but was not given a chance.

Overall, it is a shame.

Simple story, easy reading. There could have been more to the story. The characters are a bit clichéd.

The plot jumps around incoherently in places.
