I'm a fan of Max Gladstone and had high expectations about this book as the blurb sounded right for me.
It took some chapters before I started to make sense of the characters and the story. I felt confused at the beginning and nearly DFNed.
When things started to made sense I loved the story, the original world building, and the characters.
This is a book full of visions, a dystopia that mixes different elements and makes it works.
Max Gladstone is an excellent storyteller and this story, even if is not one of my favorite, is recommended.
Recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine
