I really wanted to like this book more than I did. I found the ensemble cast hard to keep up with and just wasn’t interested in there being spice every couple of pages. I did like the political intrigue and the found the themes to be incredibly complex. This was going to be 3 stars flat until we got to the end and the pace picked up. 
I would still recommend this book, especially for readers who want a lot of sapphic spice, punchy themes of community and union solidarity, and a plenty of political intrigue.
