The shining star of this book is definitely the MC, Tet Sang. His narrative voice and internal world were great to follow as a reader. I also thought that the world-building was fantastic, especially considering that this is a novella. However, something about this read fell short for me overall. I think it either needed more plot tension, or more character development.
