Publisher's summary

Against enormous odds, Clio Fathom has advanced to the next round of The Queen Trials, along with dozens of other women and girls... some of whom are already making plans to kill her.

But first comes The Wishing Round, where three winners will receive the ultimate prize: the chance to make one wish, which King Ergondy is bound by duty to grant...whether he wants to or not.

But not everyone is allowed to play in The Wishing Round, and those that do will learn....be careful what you you wish for.

It just might come true.

Omg what happens next?

I love how the author is able to describe gruesome scenes without traumatizing me, necessary for the plot, but done so tastefully.

Second Book And Still Terrible

There are so many things wrong with this story. It's unoriginal in the worst way. I'm not against a particular trope or plot devise or theme being done repeatedly as long as its done well. But this is a lazy attempt at copying Hunger Games and The Selection. The fmc is an idiot who isn't sure if she wants to be strong or perceptive. Nearly everytime I think she's going to stop being a wimp or aghast she disappoints.
The narration is worse but I expected it to be terrible. She's the author and I hoped for a more nuanced take and that her familiarity with the characters would at least make for a decent narration. Not a chance. She mispronounced several of her own words, inserted weird pauses/breaks and alot more. This book/series is garbage. Thankfully, I got my credits back.
