I really enjoyed the flexible morality of the allegiances in this book, along with the ending. There was an unfortunate disconnectedness in the book, which caused some confusion. However, all in all, I really enjoyed it.

A bit disjointed. I thought I was missing parts of it. Will read another one to see if I want to continue with the series.

Mostly, I think this is forgettable. To quote a friend, I don't regret reading it, but that's about it. It had some really poor writing, but I can forgive that if a universe is compelling. In this case, the author failed to make me care. It just felt like a series of fantasy tropes, down to the convention of using archetypes as names, which didn't come off as clever as I think the author intended. Overall, disappointing.
