5.0

The writing is blunt, fast moving, and eloquent. She’s clear about the timeline which is always a huge plus. The world building is extensive and I loved seeing how everything worked together. Even so, there’s so much left to learn about this world and I am looking forward to continuing the series to learn more. The characters are diverse and fascinating and constantly learning about themselves. The politics and effects on the characters are brilliant. Just brilliant book, overall.
