The love triangle-y pieces of Theo’s relationships with Blaise and Søren feel like an obligation of the YA fantasy genre. I would find it a lot more satisfying if it either didn’t exist or if it coexisted more peacefully, knowing that Astrean culture is that queens don’t marry and they tend to be more open. It could have been a good opportunity to really seize that and acknowledge that Theo loves both these guys- maybe to different degrees- and they need to come to the realization that neither of them are the most important piece of her life.
Big spoiler ahead
I still look forward to reading the third book, in hopes that it gives me the kind of ending I wanted Game of Thrones to give Daenerys.

Because it's YA most things aren't described in too much detail but just a heads up that it is there
