I would recommend this to those who love reading politics over action. The plot moves fairly quickly, and although it does drag a little in the middle, there’s enough twists and turns and red herrings to keep you guessing about the main villain. World building was also interesting - it does reminds me a bit of the Aes Sedai slavery system from the Wheel of Time series though, with the jewelry that’s involved.
