While there were definitely parts of this book that were somewhat predictable - I actually predicted 2 plot twists, and screamed out "I FUCKING KNEW IT" out loud when I got to them - I thoroughly enjoyed this book!!
I read this as a buddy read with a friend of mine, and we both enjoyed elements of it. I think there were parts that went on a little longer than they needed to, but overall it was so intriguing. I loved the court intrigue, the world and abilities, and I liked the characters. So many of them are flawed and their flaws stick out to the reader.

I will note that I read this as an ebook and was SO CONFUSED how the ebook was over 800 pages but it says the actual book is less than 400. The true plot twist - there are tons of extras at the back of the ebook, like 100 pages of extras - HAHA! That was oddly the one thing I did not predict.

Anyways, I really liked this book and will definitely continue the series. Hopefully as a buddy read!

this book does a wonderful job of building up hope and trust and then breaking it, you know that betrayal is imminent but the book makes you feel hopeful leading to a more intense and emotional reaction when eventually there is a plot twist

This was a DENSE book. It was THIQQUE with world building and just… so fuckin much political anguish. The scenes of torture and abuse and the beheading scene were intense and the corrupt, the betrayal, the pain. It was a whole lot. And the surprise ending was… wow.
