Okay wow, this was great. Super engaging and fascinating--I couldn't stop thinking about it. I told my partner all about it, and I can't wait for the sequel. Even with how wild everything is, the characters feel so grounded and complicated. And I'm not one for violence and gore, so I'm really glad I read this as a book rather than seeing it on TV or something, but even that felt worth it in context. I'd definitely recommend this to anyone interested in the premise.
