This was brilliant!! I loved the characters and really felt like they were fully formed people. The plot was incredible. I gasped aloud multiple times while reading. 

The depth and nuance of feeling was captured in a very impressive way, for so many characters. 

I loved the queer elements. 

Sometimes I felt a bit lost in the side characters because there were a lot of them. Didn't entirely detract from the story though.
