Picked this up on recommendation. Rating to keep the algorithm from suggesting books like it to me. Well-written and imaginative, but not my cup of tea. I live in a dystopia with no happy ending in sight and read to escape. This was not it.

A fascinating exploration of the tools of authoritarianism, resistance movements, how we relate to one another, and humanity's relationship to the rest of nature. All set within a rich alien world with mysteries of its own, and an unreliable narrator to boot!
