A very fun, non linearly told story that really engages you. It was very fun to read through it and connect the dots of which characters were which. It got a bit contrived, and a bit of an exposition dump at the very end but I very much had fun reading it. It's a story were half the characters think they're in a medieval fantasy, half of them correctly know they're in a sci fi book, yet until the end nobody seems to remember that this is very much also a dystopia story. A great read!
