The characters were unique and relatable despite their flaws. The two main female protagonists were very compelling and I enjoyed their different points of view.
Finally, the short chapters were satisfying and contributed to it being a real page-turner!

I didn’t quite liked the German voice and some phrases like “meine Himmel”. The story was good, but it didn’t catch me like it hoped it would and I’m not sure why.
The author's speech at the end catched me quite well.

Also, the complexities of revolution against oppression were present in the characters’ struggles and conversations, which inspired me to consider these same complexities in reality. I want to know more about this world, and I want to know what happens next!

1. Please read the authors note, if you've read the story.
2. This was fascinating, the story and it's characters took so many turns in their character development. It all made sense though. There was a lot of hurt and grief in a few days storyline. The characters also had noticeable trauma, and all handled it differently, which is very good writing, because I've also read books where that was completely disregarded. So all in all worth the read, I think it's better to read it not spread out over months though.
3. Crooked Kingdom vibes at times.
