I liked the way that the twins relationship with each other through their childhood is explored, and how it conflicts with their mother and her wishes for them.
I feel like having this be a novella made this feel less complete, as there is not enough time to explore the world building that is always touched upon but not super explored beyond the surface level. Especially where the mother and politics are so intertwined in the plot, it feels like we are sometimes missing information about the world in which the twins live.
Overall, a fun read though!
