This Woven Kingdom by Tahereh Mafi

i wanted soooo badly to like this. i just felt annoyed and disappointed by the time i finished it.
every single minister, general, princess, and king was a blundering idiot in the way where none of their decisions aligned with the previous ones they’ve made. their politics were circular talk with no consistency. and i don’t know if that was the point, that they’re all asshats, or that the author neglected the overarching plot so horribly. the princess was completely void of characterization except for her inexplicable desire to play a game where she tries to murder her own son. the only relief was alizeh who had a moral code and goals which she stood by as her character grew in the world.
