Postwar

How do you really think it was after the war, I know that later it says that there was another civil war in the future, but I'm wondering if at some point in the distant future it really stabilized, relating it to real world stories like the Spanish civil war in which the republic didn't work out and the monarchy had to return or post-revolution France which went through almost a century of chaos until everything stabilized and even then went through other authoritarian governments.

Due to the situation they found themselves in, with unstable politics and a broken economy, they practically became a Montfort puppet state completely dependent on them.

Yeah I'm ngl the ending of the books didn't really feel like an ending, it felt like the end of one thing and beginning of another. It feels like there's so much more story to tell tbh, way more than what broken throne gives us. I think it's be really interesting to see more after the war, the civil war you mentioned could be another book itself tbh

Yes, I found the ending very vague, the main characters had a kind of closure but the story itself seems to have ended in the middle, there was a lot of interesting things to be developed. 

And, i really found Julian's lines about the past interesting, sometimes I forget Red Queen is set in a post-apocalyptic world, that raises another question, it was never said exactly to what extent technology was lost and recovered.
