I thought the magic system was really cool in this book and would love to see more of it. I liked the aspect where the revolution has already happened and now the people are trying to figure out what comes next. I also thought the twist near the end with the "big bad" was pretty fun and unexpected. I thought that at times the countries in the book were a bit too much like real world countries or at least it was a little too on the nose, but I think that was probably part of the point lol. I also wish that we could have gotten more insight into the non-shade powers of the Dahali. Otherwise I really enjoyed this book, the ending was satisfying and would definitely check out some of this authors other work!
