The story receives mixed feedback: some find it convoluted and difficult to follow due to many characters and shallow depth, while others praise its engaging political fantasy elements and justified decision-making. The protagonist's older, experienced background is underexplored, which affects relatability. Overall, the story can be gripping and enjoyable, especially in its portrayal of love and courtly intrigue.
- “The routes are interesting, and no matter what you do it feels like it is justifiable as being the 'right' decision without really jumping through hoops to get there, which I think is quite the feat to pull off when writing a more politics-oriented fantasy story.”
- “It will probably take a few hours or so to complete the story from start to finish, however, the story grips you from the get-go.”
- “A truly well written and enjoyable story of love and courtly intrigue.”
- “So damn boring, the story is just kind of stupid as well.”
- “There is just so much going on, so many new characters with unusual names, that it is very difficult to follow the story.”
- “Also, the protagonist is older and experienced, which makes them harder to relate to, as they have a backstory, but we see very little of it.”
