Leuk om te lezen! De maatschappelijke kritiek was niet zo nodig voor mij; ik denk dat het sterker was geweest als ze het slechts bij haar eigen ervaringen (en die van de mensen aan het einde van de wereld) had gehouden. Desalniettemin een fijn boek om te lezen.

I’m officially a Xiran Jay Zhao fan. (Though let’s be fair I already was after Iron Widow). I was in a loooong reading slump and this book ended it easily; it was packed with action while still providing lots of food for thought. I think there were so many interesting moral questions to think about in this book and I loved the weaving of history and sci-fi (as was to be expected of Xiran Jay Zhao). I also loved reading Zach’s inner monologue and him figuring stuff out. And the cultural observations and critique! I hope to read more of Zachary’s story in the future (especially him figuring out his feelings for Simon maybe??)
