“On our wedding night," she said, "I will cut out your tongue and swallow it. Then both tongues that spoke our marriage vows will belong to me, and I will be wed only to myself. You will most likely choke to death on your own blood, which will be unfortunate, but I will be both husband and wife and therefore not a widow to be pitied.”

I loved the beginning of the book, started getting quite bored when Mehmed stepped into the picture and got into it again at the very end. I have no qualms with the writing style, nor Lada and Radu as characters. Mehmed, is another story. Virtually any other male character is more interesting than “his highness” so I was not sold at all on the fact that both siblings were madly in love with him and happy to die for him at any moment. I felt that both of them became watered-down versions of themselves when they were around him and I didn't like that he was so central to the story.
