The book is very a heartbreaking journey and the main character is still someone you can love despite all her choices that cause chaos. I felt moved to finish out of my curiosity for Touraine’s fate and in hopes to find out wether or not the rebels won. I was also just waiting for some justice after all that xenophobic mistreatment to the Qazals or anyone not Balladrain.
With all that said I did enjoy the book, just not as much I hoped I would. With this book I kept getting distracted because it felt too busy at times and didn’t feel gripped by the plot.
