Ace of Shades at first wasn't too exciting, but I became more engrossed into the book. It didn't interest me enough to continue the series, but I did think that it was entertaining. I liked the characters and how they interacted with each other and the world. I thought the worldbuilding was done well, as well as the political system though the political history felt a little confusing. The shadow game, Enne, and Lords was the plotline i was most interested in, while I feel am bothers were more interested in the romance. I liked the character development that we saw within Enne specifically during her time in the city. I wouldn't recommend the book to others, but if someone says it sounds interesting it wouldn't hurt to read it
