The Royal sector was probably small, because Tessa and Wes could cover it in a night? Or was I misinterpreting how time works there Anyone else feel that way? I never really got a clear picture in my head about how it worked, or how large they were.
It seems super weird to me that a city would be set out as sectors, let alone a whole kingdom. The ‘sectors’ in this novel unfortunately just remind me of The Hunger Games. I find it so hard to believe that people are still buying solutions that are useless – but I guess some people need to buy hope (COVID19 quacks anyone?) It seems like the moonflowers were good for the fever – but that was it! So Tessa’s experience as an apothecary was useful in more than one regard. I found the illnesses that weren’t the fever particularly interesting. The poor are dying, and the King and his cruel brother don’t care. The rich, of course, have more moonflower elixir than they need. The Kingdom is threatened by a fever that noone knows the cause of, and only moonflowers can cure it. Tessa Cade makes adrenaline-filled supply runs to dying individuals in the Wilds. Will they follow their instincts to destroy each other? Or will they save the kingdom together.
But when an act of unspeakable cruelty brings the royal and the outlaw face to face, the natural enemies are faced with an impossible choice-and a surprising spark. Corrick knows he must play this role convincingly-with a shortage of elixir and threats of rebellion looming ever closer, the King's grip on power is tenuous at best, and Corrick knows his brother is the kingdom's best hope for survival. In the palace of Kandala, Prince Corrick serves as the King's Justice, meting out vicious punishments and striking fear into the hearts of agitators and outlaws. So every night, she defies the royal edicts and sneaks out, stealing Moonflower petals and leaving the elixir for those in need. A mysterious sickness is ravaging the land and the cure, Moonflower Elixir, is only available for the wealthy. In the Wilds of Kandala, apothecary apprentice Tessa Cade has been watching people suffer for too long. Instant New York Times Bestseller! From New York Times bestselling author Brigid Kemmerer comes an electrifying fantasy romance, perfect for fans of Holly Black and Victoria Aveyard.
