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.
