It did remind me a lot of V E Schwab's Darker Shade of Magic series with elements from Full Metal Alchemist.
I have mixed feelings about a lot of the elements. The characters, the plot, the overall world. I like Kel for the most part. Conor is strange but I think he's on track for interesting development. Lin is frustratingly stubborn and argumentative.
I enjoyed the casual queerness.
This book is very long. It doesn't feel super different to any other kingdom based fantasy.

My only problem was that the descriptions of things and places were often over worded and felt unnecessary as well as frequently having the same descriptor words right after each other.
Overall is was filled with adventure, mystery and some romance which I enjoyed greatly !
