4 Stars ⭐️
Picked this book up on a whim and was pleasantly surprised.
A divided nation where each sector has very generic theming and its citizens each have a role to play. The only two quadrants we interact with are Toria and Eonia which strongly remind me of Ketterdam from Six Of Crows and The Society from The Giver.
I hate to admit it but I didn't connect with the queens at all. I found their chapters quite dull and found myself racing to finish them.
I quite liked Varin and Mackiel was entertainingly unhinged. Keralie however was a very generic thief.
This book would have been five stars except I wasn't impressed by the ending. Everything after Mackiel's reveal when Keralie was in the dungeon just made me roll my eyes.
