A great book which will definitely appeal to people who enjoy political intrigue in their books and a magic system that borders on sci-fi.
The book has a lovely set of characters which I alternately hated and loved but was never indifferent to.
More than anything, this book offers an amazing family dynamic and an opportunity to ponder your own values and perception of right and wrong.

The reason why I took away a star is the waaaaaay too detailed sex scenes. I didn't need to know whose fingers went exactly where, the amount of saliva utilised or the level of penetration that occurred. If that's to your taste, have at it. To me it felt voyeuristic and altogether cringy.
