I liked this story, but found myself frustrated with most of the characters, particularly Nehal who has never once thought about restraint or prudence. The world was engaging, and I’ll probably read the next book too. I also find there wasn’t really much progress made, it feels like the characters mostly ended the story the way they started it, as far as their thoughts and perspectives go.
