The world building is great, kind of a divergent-meets-harry potter kind of vibe, lots of frank discussions about systemic classism with regards to both jobs/living situations as well as education which is a main theme, all of the main characters are lgbt+, the poly discussions felt pretty realistic. Ending seemed rushed somehow? Unclear if there will be a sequel.
Graphic: Violence, Religious bigotry, Injury/Injury detail, and Classism
Moderate: Death of parent, Murder, and Dysphoria
Minor: Bullying
Multiple POVs made the story feel choppy at times, and I wish more people were on the “good” side.
