renegadepearl's review against another edition
I finished the first book of the trilogy! I loved it but I had to return the book and didn’t feel like reading the other two. I started the second one but Simmea immediately died so I thought it fine to just end there. Loved The Just City tho!

Possibly the best novel I have ever had the pleasure of reading. It’s a medley of all I adore: Greek myth and history; philosophy and debate; and superbly crafted worlds. This trilogy has fascinating world building and such a brilliant, mesmerising logic behind it, one cannot help but be in awe! The characters are wonderfully well-rounded and I love them with my heart, truly. I laughed, I cried, it was the best of times, it was the worst of times… yada yada yada go read this fucking exceptional, heart-rending, mind boggling book!!

I adored this series.
The Just City saved my life when I was stuck in a crisis center.
Two years later, when I realized there were sequels, I barreled through them. I was delighted.
Book 2 was intriguing. There was plenty to be sad about. I appreciate the importance of grief throughout the trilogy.
Book 3 is rather repetitive given that so many characters need to coordinate with each other. However! There's lots of fun plot twists. I really like how the consequences for various actions echo throughout the trilogy. It resonates with how things work in real life.
I want all my friends to read this trilogy so I can have someone to geek out with!!!

I loved book 1 in this trilogy, and really enjoyed books 2 and 3. I liked the combination of mythology, time travel and science fiction, and thought over all it was a well-written series. Will likely reread at some point in the future, and will definitely be checking out some of her other books.

I was not expecting this to go into space or to include aliens and sentient robots, but hey, I'm a trekkie, I can't complain. This trilogy is fantastic. It's just as Platonic as it needs to be and just as not-Platonic as it needs to be. Things get weird and it still works.
