What a fantastic beginning to a series. I've seen other reviewers call it 'Game of Thrones on the moon', and others mention the Godfather movies, and yes, that's about right. HBO/Netflix, someone, anyone, should be all over this.
The cast is diverse, and I absolutely loved all of them. They're well developed, with amazing arcs, and McDonald put a lot of care and effort into the world building. The pace never slows; not a dull moment in this book.
Now, I won't lie, this book took a lot of effort. Damn those families are huge. I have a notebook for difficult reads, and I used it. A lot. I basically kept drawing family trees, until the characters clicked into place. It takes a while, but eventually they do click into place.
I immediately bought the second book and can't wait to dive in. Highly recommended to people who enjoy dynastic families struggle for power with a generous dash of drama...on the moon!
