I don't know how to put into words how I feel about this book. Neal's worldbuilding is so expansive without being overwhelming or confusing. While there are a lot of different characters, even new ones not previously introduced until this book, I connected with all of them. The ending was an emotional roller coaster and I basically sobbed through the last 70 or so pages.
It's been a while since a series has moved me this much and I'm already wishing I could experience it again for the first time.
