I like this series. There is a lot of exposition at the beginning of this book, though, which sets up the story and was okay when I read it the first time but was kinda boring on a re-read.
Also, the main character is a woman passing as a man (it's actually more complicated than that, but close enough) and there's so much potential there which isn't explored, and, like, I know these books and this author aren't going to explore it but it's still a bit of a disappointment. Like, we could talk about gender feelings! In so many ways! Like, surprisingly okay with it because turns out she doesn't have strong gender feelings at all, or surprisingly not okay with it even though she doesn't want to live with the restrictions women are placed under. Also, we could explore the (definitely existing 'cause humans gonna human, though it never appears on page) gay subculture!
