So clearly I had a lot of fun reading this, but the plot was fairly repetitive. An awkward mix of unexplained deaths and palace pageantry, where it seems like the same things keep happening over and over again? I toughed it out and the plot aspects got tighter in the last quarter, the finale worthwhile. The writing overall is a bit plodding and sometimes drags on, leaving me wondering why the scene hadn't already ended, and the magic was... thin. Sometimes I don't mind that but in this case it was a bit draining.
Better to focus on the romance aspects than the plot/fantasy elements. The romance was very good.

I think the book dealt with its heavier topics respectively if not a bit heavy handed in stating its thesis on each characters’ culpability, or lack of, to various events.
