Honestly, it's not a bad book. I was in a reading slump and the characters (with the exception of Helene) didn't interest me enough to push through. I held on and didn't start another book for like a month after I really stopped reading, but eventually just gave up.

Wow, this was engaging, immersive, and so so beautiful. The twists were so good and I really enjoyed the addition of Helene’s perspective.

The new emperor has been chosen, and things get messy as hell. Some characters are ruined, some are freer than ever before. We learn more about the otherworldly dark forces lingering in the empire, which was pretty cool honestly. There are insane and borderline ridiculous plot twists that I absolutely love. This book feels unhinged in a hinged way, chaotic in an organized way. I love it.

Rated 3 stars because I didn't give a crap about anything that happened in this book until like page 350. I'll probably keep going because the stuff towards the end was interesting enough but this series is definitely not a priority for me.
