honestly a bit disappointed in this one. I really enjoyed the beginning and even the middle! But the ending was ironically really slow but also rushed! The last 10 pages especially was just trying to tie everything up, but really it just showed how over it the author was about it lol.

This could have been split into two books and really allowed the exploration into the world building and politics the author was brewing up since the start of the book. I didn't even care about the connection between the two characters in the end because I was so disappointed by the sudden dip in quality. :(
