This book could have been split into three of four! Lots of twists and turns. So much to keep track of plot-wise. There was some ableism-

villain uses a cane? Use of “Deaf and Blind” to mean stupid/worthless/ignorant.

There was some copaganda as well. Love the magic system, as well. Ends on a cliff-hanger.
