Was excited for this book but it just dragged on. A lot of emphasis on foreshadowing that you won’t get to for what seems like multiple books based on how the first book went. The side characters were almost better developed than the main character which was just odd.  Didn’t find the main character that likable either. However I did find the political aspects of the book intriguing, so may go back to book 2 in the figure just to see if we get more excitement in other books
