I liked it but found it was short in world-building, the plot was set up very nicely for the next few books and Alizeh’s storyline/arc but I feel like in the 500 pages I absorbed not much happened.

I love the lyrical style of Mafi’s writing. I am intrigued by the plot and the politics, as well as the fleshed-out characters she offers, however, I find it lacking in the plot progression, world-building, and character descriptions. It’s hard for me to envision the kingdom of Ardunia. As a reader I felt limited only to the thoughts of the characters and despite being nearly 1/3 way along, I feel little happened.
