Addison has obviously spent a lot of time on their world-building - it's well thought out and very rich - but I oftentimes felt myself lost with who all the similarly named characters were.
Diabolical how often I was sat repeating names and places out loud to see how they tasted
It was delicious

i will be honest, most of my books are recommended by queer sci-fi/fantasy forums, so i did read this entire book waiting for the main character to fall in love w one of the men around him, but that's on me. this was a lovely court intrigue with some very compelling and unique world building. the language choices are hard to parse at first but its well worth seeing it through.
Didn't finish. Very slow and obsessed with the formalities of the world. All and all just not for me.
Amazing. The way the prose was so complicated but read so simply. The way the main character was the sweetest most charming boy who I wanted to succeed more than anything. I couldn't tell you a single name or thing that happened only that I was delighted the entire time.
I would read Maia's pov forever.

Very low plot, high politics. IMHO, too long. Definitely too long to not pass the Bechdel test

the main character doesn’t even have main character energy. he is a receptacle for the plot, not its engine.
A different kind of hero and more realistic hero. I found the audio book really difficult to keep track of names.
