Absolutely gorgeous book. I haven't cried in months, and this had me in tears several times. Not only is the story incredible, the translation is also done so well (much better than the official translation, that's for sure). Overall, this just has so much heart and soul in it, and it genuinely restored my faith in humanity. Go read it (only after checking the content warnings, tho, it can be very intense).

Lots of subtle homophobia and misogyny. There's some dubious consent towards the very end, and the extras have some pretty risque nsfw scenes.

Though it's never treated in text as unwanted or nonconsentual, the sex life of the main characters isn't great consent-wise. The first time they sleep together, one appears drunk (his characterization lead to fans speculating that he'd sobered up, but as far as I know there's no canonical consensus), and the next time the other voices protests that go largely ignored, though he never truly dislikes it. Nothing awful, but proceed with caution.

3.5

So hmm mixed feelings. I had a lot of fun with this despite the kind of overdrawn court intrigue. Was the romance subplot a little...questionably ethical at times? yeaaaahhh which is why I'm docking 1.5 stars. But I needed something messy like this to get me out of a reading slump.
