🏳️🌈 First off, I loved the LGBTQIA+ representation, especially Non-Binary people in this book. And it wasn't a main part of the plot, instead being more like yeah Sal is Non-Binary, who gives a fuck (except for the bigots who still exist). I want more fantasy with LGBTQIA+ characters!
For me, the plot was pretty fast paced albeit with a few slow parts. The last 40 or so pages were just so intense.
I love the world building so much. There's a queen with a group of assassins called The Left Hand who are named after gems and wear masks. You can see why I think that's awesome. Oh and a war might be going down but that's par for the course.
I feel like the romance was a little bit rushed but I still rooted for Sal and Elise to be together.
Will still read book 2 and see where it all ends.
