A very good book! I liked the discussions of what it means to do good, as well as the way systems can work to unfairly punish those that were born into their circumstances. I especially enjoyed the way characters with privilege were (rightfully imo) treated with scorn when voicing opinions that could only have come from always living in their privileged realm and never having to confront otherwise.
The soul spinning concept and channeling was also something I enjoyed and I liked all the different ways the various characters thought about their own soul spin.
There are still many unanswered questions and unresolved character conflicts, likely to be addressed as the series continues, and I’m excited to see where it goes!
