This book is actually quite amazing at portraying what comes after a rebellion and how it comes with its own challenges and obstacles. I like how it explores shifting loyalties, buried truths, conflicting morality regarding those who were just trying to survive, and how not everyone will accept the new monarch no matter how corrupt the previous one is. What I am slightly annoyed by is how the characters act sometimes, especially in the middle of precarious times, and I hate how easily swayed by the main antagonist, how easily riled up they are, and how they let him talk instead of not giving a shit. But overall, I like the conclusion and I was half hoping that this series be extended because the world is incredibly vast and the magic could be explored way more.
