4.0

Intricate world-building sets up an interlocking set of characters and plots here. It reminds me a bit of early Neal Stephenson books like Reamde and The Diamond Age - at less than half the length, but with some of the political plots of the Vor books by Lois McMaster Bujold. An excellent start for a new author, I look forward to reading more in this series. Some mysteries were resolved, but many more left to uncover so I very much hope to read more in this series by this author.
