I fell a little in love with the main character a few pages in, and stayed that way until the end of the book. The character dynamics are the highlight of this book, at least for me, and they're not always easy ones. The worldbuilding is good in this one; it never sacrificed plot pacing to infodump, but wove it into the narrative instead. I could see the landscapes and characters in front of me as I read. Pretty sure I finished this in two sittings.
