Asexual representation! I felt the world building was a bit to much to all be introduced in one book though.

I have been told there are problematic elements surrounding the portrayal of Indigenous people in this book
I received an Advanced Readers Copy from NetGalley and all opinions are my own.
I really wanted to love this book. I have been seeing glowing reviews all of Bookstagram and it looked amazing but sadly it was not for me.
I love the world and thought the magic and everything was so cool and was really well developed. I found it was hard to follow and seemed to jump around quite a bit to the point that I didn't know what was happening though.
I found the main character really annoying with how they went back and forth from 'I am the lost ruler and I know all these cool things' to 'oops while trying to pretend to be a normal person and remembering to change my accent I forgot this is a language nobody in hundreds of years has read aloud infront of my enemy' I understand that they are human and a teen so they will make mistakes but still.
I'm rating it 3 stars because everything else about the book was amazing just the main character was annoying and despite my best efforts it was really confusing to follow.
For these reasons I thought it best to cut my losses and DNF at 48% rather than struggle through it and make me lose all interest in enjoying it another day.

I am an Autistic, Wheelchair User with multiple undiagnosed disabilities so as soon as I saw this book I knew I had to read it.
I definitely need to find more books like this!
It was really interesting but didn't cover topics in a way that was triggering for me, something that puts me off reading books that represent me especially non fiction.
It wasn't what I was expecting to read about but I loved it nonetheless. It covers a lot of topics I would never have thought about and I really found it interesting thinking about how disabled astronauts would be better prepared for space than pre-disabled people. (I have a huge interest in space and I am definitely going to research this further.)
I could relate to a lot of the struggles that were talked about and learnt a lot about other types of disabilities too.
I highly recommend this to anyone who wants to learn more about being disabled and how to be a better ally.
