DId anyone read the Book of the Month for August? I thought that it was fairly good. Sakra was my favourite character, but when he turned into a swan it reminded me too much of Juliet Marillier's Sevenwaters trilogy.

I liked the twists of how everyone suspected each other of bewitching the prince's mind. I couldn't blame Kalami for wanting to protect his daughter.

I may read the sequel, The Usurper's Crown, at a later date. I won't have time to read it for a while since school is starting for me in two days.
