One of the best political critiques I've read in a fiction book. It was engaging, I love all the characters even the toxic ones. The world building is incredible with realistic stakes and scenarios. I especially love the character development (we love a reflective queen with actual flaws!)

Generally one of the best YA books I've ever read. Loved it so so so so so much!!!

This book was much slower than Iron Widow, not to say that I didn’t enjoy it, it felt like a very natural sequence of events coming after the events ending the last book.

Love love love, "delightful to read" wouldn't be accurate, but I certainly enjoyed every dangerous turn.
After months of laughing at people describing this book as polical (bro did you even read the first one), I do actually see why this one gets called that (it's still silly).
