5.0

 This is a clever book about standing your ground in the face of political manoeuvring by rich and powerful people who see you as nothing more than a pawn. It comes across as thoughtful and the characters are well written. The world feels surprisingly thorough and complete considering the length of the book. It's straightforward, easy to follow, and fast paced. The ending wrapped things up in a compelling way that left room for more to come without actually requiring more to complete the story. It's really great and worth the time.
