The book started very strong, but somehow lost tension. Lots of telling, not enough showing. Also the rulers are incompetent, you'd think they would have a spy network and better systems in place. All they do is just react to events.

Also I disliked the use of the word (revolution). It feels off, very overused and too cliche. Feels like the era when all YA books had to have a revolution in them (post hunger games).
