Slow to start, but worth a read. I enjoyed the worldbuilding and mystery of the bigger picture and the war. After

the big twist

I waned to throw my book across the room, which seems to be a theme for books I read by  C. S. Pacat (in a good way). I'm interested to see where the story goes in the next book. If you enjoyed the political intrigue of Captive Prince you'll enjoy this one.
