Silk Fire by Zabé Ellor

Did not finish book. Stopped at 17%.

The world struggles to thrive and the characters have no heart. Things happen around the protag but he just floats from one important thing to the next without ever seeming connected to them. After eighty pages, I struggled to care about him and couldn’t buy how poorly he played political games while being told he was good at it.
