Incredible story. The choice of three very different POVs and them all getting weaved together was perfect for the scope and emotion of the world and story.

Loved the worldbuilding and the narrative voice here. The POV is just a fun way to experience the world. The pace overall felt quite brisk, but it paused where necessary to take into account things that would shake the POV character's worldview, which I greatly appreciated. There were tons of interesting concepts, some of which get explored partially and some of which get barely touched upon, but only in ways that make it feel like they're a part of the world for the characters vs simply being underdeveloped.

I look forward to reading more books in this series.
