A Good Read

4 stars

I started reading Valiant because of how much I enjoyed Holly Black's "The Cursed Prince" trilogy. Valiant also has a romance (subplot turned plot) and the characters do more morally-questionable things, but I'm glad I read the book! I'm going to keep going through the Modern Tale of Faerie series after this.
