This is a book that will give again on the reread, for sure.
A first in series that confidently stands alone while also leaves you scrambling for the sequel.
Superb use of textual format and some stunning lines, not to mention a real array of characters, including explicit canonical wlw and amputee.
Could barely put this book down, and even this scattershot review is after a solid 1( minutes of awestruck space staring upon finishing. 10/10 recommend.

Some things were slow, kivas internal narration got a bit messy and boring at times but I truly didn’t see most of the twists coming - and I TRIED guessing. I cannot wait to read the rest
