My ONLY critique is that I wish the boys were aged up!! It's so hard to believe that Sage is 14 when he's one of the most clever and personable characters I've ever read. I get that he's beyond his years due to experience, but I'd never want a 14 year old running my country no matter their life story. Also I literally can't root for someone beginning to fall in love at that age. But otherwise, one of the best YA stories I've ever read, and I literally immediately reread it to skim for all the foreshadowing, and it hit so much harder the second time.
