An interesting introduction to this world. I would have liked a little more world-building; we are kind of thrown into the deep end with this world and not given a lot of backstory or direction. I like Ophelia and I liked following her on her journey. And the court intrigue was fun and I want to learn more about that. It was a bit of a slog in the middle and they spent a lot of time at the Citeceleste that I think could have been cut down. But I am intrigued by the relationship between Thorn and Ophelia and I am interested in learning more about their powers.
