This book was incredibly interesting especially with a morally grey female protagonist.
The story is super interesting, and I was actually surprised by the "mask reveal" at the end of the story.
Along with the relationships between Alessandra and the other men and women in court.
It was nice to see close friendships between men and women happening, without a need for romance.

My one giant peeve was that there was no certainty in the type of time period this exsisted in because sometimes were hearing about chamber pots, but later we will hear about plumbing and it is contradictory.
