4.5

Overall a 4.5 star read... The amount of political intrigue in this book is really good.. The book is better than the series on Disney Plus in my opinion.. Though I wished that the battle in the book is not just 3 sentences long! If there was a longer battle scene, I would have given it 5 stars!
