Reading very much as if Georgette Heyer decided to write fantasy, this book was charming and fun, full of flowery language and round about way of saying simple things that require you to read dialog twice to make sure you're understanding what characters say to one another. Great to have POC main characters, but annoying how obsessed the narrative was with how “other” they were, given the author is also POC. I don't feel we learned anything with this preoccupation other than in order to break free, one must be audacious and assume success until proven otherwise.
