So much about this was really great and I am struggling to talk about it without either spoiling things or being so vauge that it is unhelpful. I will say that I got kind of lost in the political aspect of this (which is a me problem, as I am not used to that being a huge element). I read this on audiobook, which was nice but I think re-reading it in physical form will probably help with some of my confusion -- and I am definitely looking for a chance to look at these characters and this beautiful writing again
