Mirage

I didn't fully connect to the world. Maybe it was because this is the third or fourth book in a row I have read that is part of a series. Or maybe because I don't find court intrigue interesting, when it happened in this book. It was vague when it appeared and it remained through to the next scenes. I am interested in what all the clothing, food and accessories described as part of the culture. That is where one of the stars comes from.
