None of the characters were likeable or had any sense of growth, the plot was a jumbled mess at best with little background to the intesne political issues happening in the book. There wasn't enough detail and the story continously jumped from present to past in the middle of paragraphs. The story lacked cohesiveness. While I already typically dislike love-triangles, I absolutely despised the one happening in this story. There was also the very jarring scene of domestic abuse which was also poorly written. So much of the world was made up and based off of other things in real life but there was no explaination as to how these things changed between reality and fiction. Overall, both the story and characters were incredibly poorly written.
