Really good. Some minor quibbles with unnuanced monologuing. But overall this book was incredibly exciting. Very interesting setting and world building. Can't wait to read the next one.

I think I cared more about the characters than the plot for most of the book, until the plot got super interesting at the end, I feel like the ending was set up well for the next books

how dare Adrian hurt so many of his characters, I cried multiple times

very well written obviously, super fun and diverse cast of characters, I really liked their interpersonal dynamics and the crew felt like a real family
