The Justice of Kings

This book had a great premise, but the narration from a character who does absolutely nothing was not my fave. Sorry Helena. I felt like the little group of protagonists had lame powers/no powers - while the bad guys are definitely bad dudes, why are their powers/magic way stronger and more interesting? the male lead was fine but again, in my opinion, didn't accomplish ANYTHING the whole book. This entire book felt like it should have been a 1-chapter prologue for another story.
however, the male dude's justice powers were cool - speaking to the dead was kinda sick.
