I really, really enjoyed this book. That being said, I had a terrible time getting into the world that the author created. I was really confused on the terms for things, the geography, the royal family and heirs-but I stuck in out and in the end I am pretty sure I have enough of a grasp on what is happening to get me through this series. It took me a bit to find Jin and Amani likeable. I found Amani lacking and the mysterious Jin questionable rather than mysterious. Give the author a break, you can tell this is a first work. During the final chapters I was routing for Amani, I was actually surprised by the twists that the author dished out-go author! I still find Jin annoying. I will be reading the rest of this series just to find out if the Rebellion is successful. The secondary characters are just as interesting as the primary. Another huge plus.
