Cute storyline! I did get a bit confused with the science fiction part but I think a reread will clear that up!

I read this with friends that hadn’t read Winter’s Orbit and from our discussions, you don’t seem to gain any particular insight into this story by reading the first in the series. Just wanted to throw that out there in case anyone is concerned about starting a book that says “#2 in series”.

For a good chunk of the book, you are trying to figure out the reader/architect abilities, societal implications, and the science behind it while Surit and Tennal are as well. When my friends and I were discussing it about 30% through, I said that I didn’t know what the hell was going on, but I was having a great time. That said, I love that we did eventually get the answers that Surit and Tennal were looking for rather than the author leaving things up in the air or up to the audience’s imagination. 

The nearly immediate rapport between our two male characters was great and I loved their interactions. Tennal was a sarcastic and irreverent asshole when dealing with many people - especially those in power - and it continued to be entertaining throughout. Definitely recommend reading and will always recommend Winter’s Orbit as well which was another that I loved.
