It's a really good book but you have to take into acount it's limitations, because it's a stand-alone fantasy it doesn't have the time to fully develop all of the plot points, this also reflects in the love triangle, one of the sides being a lot more intreting in my opinion. 
Even though the world building has it's flaws it is generaly very enticing and it paints a really good picture of what's possible in this world. 
The set up of the conflict is a bit too fast for my taste when it comes to the conflict it self and it's resolution i think it gets a lot better with the pacing. 
In general there is some really good representation and that's very gratly appreciated

The ending was a little bit disappointing because of way too many fake-death scenes, it lost a little bit of it's impact
