Absolutely fantastic read! Shusterman builds a fantastic world that feels very much alive and expansive, full of interesting characters and a challenging view of morality. This book takes a hard look at finding meaning in the meaningless, and the realities of a life without stakes and what that would look like. Compulsively readable and a series I will definitely finish. I do love that the ending of the story doesn’t leave a cliffhanger but rather a more expanded version of the same world, a very satisfying conclusion.
