Well, okay this was intriguing.
I kind of laughed at the relationship between Vlad and Loiosh. Both were equally snarky and I liked that Vlad made sure to bond with him from the beginning. Kadar was interesting as well and I liked how he was basically like "yeah I'm a good assassin because no one sees me."
I did think the world building was a little bit "here you are, you already know everything", so figuring stuff out took a minute but I kind of liked the way that was done. The world was intriguing and very political. Like, everything had to be considered because there were going to be repercussions on someone and you needed to make sure it was on the right person.
