3.5
A bit of a filler book in the trilogy, some good world building but not much in the way of plot. I would have liked to see more character development but I didn't feel like Koli develops much at all. I find him a bit of an annoying idiot.
I hadn't realised Cup was so young and was wondering how Koli magically knew she was a girl when they met, but it makes more sense in this book. It was odd that puberty blockers were controversial when Ursala usually jumps at the chance to do something and gene editing is apparently fine.
