This book felt like the author was working backwards from “how can I create a believable revolution against an evil empire?” and then filled in the details of the plot accordingly.
It’s not so much that it was bad; more that it felt contrived. Or like things were happening because that author wrote them (yes I know!) rather than because the world of the book spins on its axis and so of course that’s what has to happen next.
The food and tea sounded amazing, though, 5 stars to those descriptions.
