I liked it while reading it - but now 4 days later I'm bored trying to remember it. I really hope authors don't read this crap - ITS NOT YOU. ITS ME.

I'm so scared of starting the next book I am going to get hurt.

I was really excited about the premise, but I didn't like the characters, or care about what happened to them.

I found it very hard to engage with this book. Couldn't bring myself to care about the large cast of characters although the worldbuilding was interesting. More could have been explored with the politics - maybe this is covered in sequels. Writing style was functional but not pretty. Overall the book was ok and it hung together well, but I just wasn't that invested.

I do not understand why people like this book. It was tedious to read, none of the characters were likable, and 200 pages in there was no sign of an over-arching plot. I got tired of the characters all snarling at one another. At the bookstore when I bought it, the bookseller likened it to Succession. I don't like that show for much the same reasons. I wish I hadn't bought this book.
