Goodreads Synopsis:

The Grand Consecration to celebrate the founding of the Kingdom of Ozmargo is nigh...but the king of beasts remains in his human form despite the dawn! Thanks to Sariphi's quick thinking, disaster is averted and the ceremony goes off without a hitch, prompting Chancellor Anubis to declare an end to Sariphi's trials. But having assumed the role of Acting Queen, Sariphi is faced with her first job...which just might turn out to be insurmountable!

Review:

All of Sari's efforts have paid off, for now at least. Anubis finally gives her a bit of a break, by letting her skip some steps and show if she's capable of being the queen. It adds more responsibility for her, which worries her, but only because she's realized how badly she wants this.

Her first job is to bless a new prince in a nearby kingdom. Not a terribly hard job, up until she starts getting pushed back and someone tries hindering her time to do it.

This was just another plot line to show how sympathetic and honest and understanding Sari is. She sees when someone doesn't like her, and she sees when someone is simply avoiding a larger issue. Similarly to how Leo sees what's inside a person more clearly than they want sometimes, as well. I appreciated seeing him take a similar issue in hand during this, as well. He's not dumb and he's not afraid to confront an issue, either.

I really like this match, and I like getting to see them overcome issues together and by themselves. Definitely sticking around for more.
