I've given this book a relatively low rating because it wasn't for me, but I want to be clear that it's certainly not a terrible book. If you like awkward romances and feeling secondhand embarrassment, you'll love this book. I thought the political intrigue was interesting and the world-building felt rich and diverse. The only reason I kept reading this book was because I wanted to keep living in it's world. But it definitely had me wanting to yell, "Just talk to each other!" at the characters almost constantly.
