The conflicts around choosing between duty and personal feelings often felt intense but familiar. Did anyone else find these moments surprisingly relatable or just tropey?

The politics and culture felt so rich and detailed — I wonder if the author drew from existing mythologies or crafted everything from scratch.

The romantic subplot added tension and stakes, but sometimes it felt like it overshadowed the story. Did anyone else feel conflicted about how the romance shaped her choices?
