This was a fun and beautiful, complex story filled with political intrigue. I had a lot of fun getting lost in it and getting to know the characters intimately for nearly a month. 

I do admit, though, that I feel this book could have been shorter and remained just as impactful. 

I loved the characters and felt they were well developed, and I do think I will want to revisit this in the future.
