Much as expected, an entertaining slice-of-life story in a fantasy world focussing on the daily life of somebody involved in fashion and crafting, mixed in with a bit of political intrigue and romance. The world feels reasonably unique, and fashion isn't often the focus of these kind of stories, having said that though I do wish there would have been a bit more progress on overall plot and a bit less focus on clothes. Still, considering volume 1 it did not came as a surprise, and I enjoyed the book well enough.
