I generally dislike first-person narratives. It is especially distracting to me switching between character A in first person to character B in the third person. The narrative would have been better off in the third person throughout. POV aside, there were some interesting fantasy elements: actually compelling political intrigue, queer-inclusive fantasy, and the PTSD/trauma was handled respectfully. I also feel that the story could have been tightened up and told in less than 528 pages. Overall, this was an engaging read with interesting worldbuilding and likable characters, but it's unlikely that I will read the sequel
