I really loved the first half, exploring the first kingdom and closely following the lead's gender and cultural exploration, along with the political intrigue. Unfortunately, it seems like that is all tossed out the window as soon as they get on a boat. I was far less interested in the prophecy-chasing second half, and I only finished it because I wanted to see the main character's gender journey come to a conclusion.
