Short but quite good! Things play out in a satisfying way. It's a story about being on the bottom of society and whether or not who is in power means anything behind the rhetoric. The world building is quietly efficient. I felt like the characters were well evoked and it was easy to tell what was going on with them. I feel like this escapes some usual fantasy cliches and tropes. It's my first Kate Elliott book and I'm left interested in trying more.
