This was absolutely STUNNING. Dickinson crafted a perfect slow burn story of a person conforming to colonization as a tactic to extract her revenge on the colonizers. She plays their games and stays one step ahead at all times, but her story begs the question about what makes a villain - is she complicit by participating in the system, even as a means to an end of the empire that’s formed? People weren’t wrong, this series is amazing and I know the following books will ruin me.
