this was an intensely compelling, emotional story -- i admit that i don't have enough historical/cultural knowledge to completely get all the nuance, but i knew it was there. the story was dynamic and in my opinion, balanced action well along with emotional resonance and exposition through the POVs of the two main protags. i know the blurb likens it to Black Panther, but personally, it reminded me a lot of Horizon Zero Dawn, with the use of technology that was shown, along with the ongoing climate crisis.
