A very interesting storyline. However, some details are over explained when not needed & some wording used to frequently. Overall an exciting story making the reader hungry for more.

It took me a few chapters to get into this book. A lot of initial setting up of characters and world building. But it's very worth it! Hope I get to read more about these characters. 

Physician confronts systemic inequity and bigotry inside and outside her own culture on order to learn what she needs to save as life. 

This struggle is cast against the wasteful leisurely wonderfully queer lives of the royals and the guards tasked with keeping them alive. 

The magic is powerful. I want to explore more of this huge world.
