2.0

The writing seemed very juvenile to me and was more telling than showing. The characters were flat and uninteresting, it took too long for the plot to unravel and certain elements were far too convenient. 

That being said, it had interesting themes such as the the oppression and strength of women, some decent political intrigue and good worldbuilding elements.
