So this book requires that you remember a lot of character and plot details from For the Wolf. I, unfortunately, did not remember any details. I had a basic understanding of how For the Wolf ended, and it wasn't enough for me to fully enjoy For the Throne.
I found the plot to be too basic, the world building too complicated, and the characters too lackluster. I didn't really understand Neve's motivation for helping Solmir besides the boring "it's the right thing to do," and her growth felt stagnant. I'm also not sure why we got Red's POV as often as we did. Red was important for the ending, but everything before felt unnecessary.
The one good thing about this book was Solmir. He was an interesting morally-gray character, and I liked learning more about him through this book. The enemies-to-lovers romance was also super sweet in some scenes, but it could have been stronger. Overall, a lot of things in this book could be stronger. I think it just wasn't for me.
