This is a fantasy world, but other than the fever and Moonflower, it doesn't really have any fantastical elements. I could guess who was behind the rebels, but it was a satisfying guess, the kind that I was very pleased to have predicted correctly. For the most part, I think there is a good balance between the information given and the information withheld. I was never bored, and I actually almost missed an appointment with a professor when I got caught up in the story toward the end. There's a good amount of tension through the entire thing with the consuls, the rebels, and Tessa and Corrick's own secrets. The basic elements are probably something you've seen in various fantasy books, but they come together really well. They're on two sides of a conflict as rebels grow bolder and rumors of the cure losing its efficacy rise. Corrick is the King's Justice, younger brother to King Harriston, and responsible for punishing smugglers that steal Moonflower. Tessa is an apothecary who steals Moonflower, the only cure for a fever that has long since plagued the kingdom of Kandala, and distributes it to those who can't afford it. ![]()
