Too much violence, too much in each culture that I find abhorrent, for me to truly enjoy this book. I'm not sure I would have finished it if wasn't for my bookclub. However, the plot was superb and the attention to detail extremely impressive.
Also the fact that some characters truly had hearr in the face of such pain touched me.

aghhh frances hardinge is just so good. this was amazing. the writing was spectacular but what really makes me go insane is the worldbuilding like every single book of hers is a different world with different lore and they all feel so realized and full.....every little detail in this enthralled me
