Delightful take on character development and exploration. This is part of a larger universe of books, but it's the first one I've read, so I can tell there are elements or characters that hit differently if you already have read those other books. The world is vivid and three dimensional, and it feels like we're only scratching the surface of it but there's so much more to explore. Each of the characters have different perspectives and points of understanding and connection and deep divisions that feel less fated than intensely human. Can't wait to read more.
