This is one of those high ranked maps - if the map area wasn't so cluttered that you have to duck most of the way through and if you didn't have to jump over a couple of things in confined areas then it would be a lot quicker / easier to get through.
As it is the map is ok - very short and extremely linear but has a lot of items creating the scene of the palace - it's ok nothing great but not bad either.
Visually though I like it.
