Very interesting misdirection here with many candidates for the spy and a lot of interesting science meeting magic. Alya Nightshade is dealing with her brother's death, power, politics and how apparently there is an assassin trying to kill her. There's a weapon out there that can kill her family and she has to find ways to mitigate it without killing herself. Meanwhile her personal life is complicated too.
I liked it, good characters and a good story and quite enjoyable.
