I did like the strong character writing of Jude.
The whole book made me feel like I was in a faerie land, nothing makes sense and everything is irrelevant.
"Snippets of scenes that are irrelevant to the plot but unfortunately that's the whole book" vibe.
The flow of events was so badly executed that I could practically see the puppet strings attached to the characters, used by the author to make them do things to further the plot.
The "political" struggles jude faced were all told about and not particularly shown.
Overall, neither a good enemies to lovers nor a good political fantasy. Might read the next book just to know what happened.
