I liked this book a lot. It's an Asian-inspired dark fantasy, and managed to make the world feel big despite about ninety percent of the book taking place inside the palace grounds. The characters were great and showed a variety of ways that people react to trauma. Lei’s impulsiveness sometimes annoyed me, but she's seventeen so it makes sense.

Heading into the ending I was expecting this to be five stars, but the actual ending feels rushed (I feel like almost as much happens in the last 20 pages as in the entire rest of the book) and one plot point, while not really surprising, disappointed me.

Overall though the book was great and I'm looking forward to the sequel.
