I think it is a really entertaining book and you have to pay attention in the beginning if you want to catch the end of it
Just like the warning at the beginning of the book you have to remember that it is all part of the game and their job is to make you believe it's true. I really like that there is a love plot without graphic scenes

To me it was a little bit like the training of a geisha but with magic as well. I thought it was quite interesting and definitely something new to me. It is a really good read I really enjoyed it.
