I am conflicted.

On one hand I generally enjoyed the concept and overall execution of the story, but on the other hand, I wasn't a huge fan of the fact that the majority of the few female perspectives we get were centered around them giving birth to an heir while the male perspectives focused on the city around them at that period. The only real exception to this was the period of the siege, but otherwise I was disappointed in the lack of diversity in the female perspectives.
