LOVE. THIS. BOOK. Owen's worldbuilding is incredible, the characters are well-developed, and the social issues are deftly handled. I do have one major question left niggling at the back of my mind, but I'll wait until I read The Faithless Hawk (which I hope will happen soon) before voicing it, in the hopes that Owen addresses it there and I can stop worrying about it.
