Read through this in one sitting and couldn't put it down. It's very quick, but the world building is fascinating and I love all the setup we get. The characters are engaging, and the unique perspective was super interesting. The reveal at the end was very well built up to. Considering it's by Leckie, I'm not surprised the perspective was engaging and used well in the narrative, as this seems to be an incredible mainstay of her books that has made them consistently stand out. Seeing this in a fresh fantasy setting was super fun.
