i did feel like the book went in circles at the start. For about a hundred pages we just spoke about labourism and what it means and not much else would happen and id find myself going yes i get it. Such intresting plot and world building but we spent so long talking about private property? It also broke my heart that Yishi wasnt himself for most of the book and it did hurt that shimin was only rescued right at the

It was a great book, hard to follow the first as it is my fave but I think this was a spill follow up.

i look forward to the next installment
