Good book to listen to as an audio book as you go about daily life nice and slow pace lots of talking between characters that truly feel real. I could match up all the characters with someone i knew ultimately pretty motivating to get me off my behind and to do something with my life. Honestly I kinda ignored the commentary on life from two of the characters like it didn't make the book worse but it wasn't needed too much for my enjoyment.

I like the setting the most I really can picture the magnificence of the Palace and even if I couldn't the tension was great throughout the auroras in different scenes were compelling
