Least favorite of the series so far, though I still love the larger world and all the political schemes. I just didn't vibe with Ahnna and found her a bit annoying. The romance also felt a little less developed compared to the two other couples, more like a coupling out of convenience than an actual connection. 

Plus the story felt incomplete, moreso than the others have. Or maybe it was just a good cliffhanger and I want to know what happens next.

Racism, classism, xenophobia, and religious bigotry within the confines of the world, though there are themes of "burn the witch" and "good, god-fearing people who were born here vs. all others" Pretty significant scenes of bullying and humiliation that almost made me feel bad for
