Overall Thoughts:
⁕ The world-building in this book isn’t ever fully explained. Pearson references the histories and practices of multiple countries but never fleshes them out. Because this book takes place in the same world as her Remnant series, I worry she banks too much on the hope that folks will already have knowledge from that.

⁕ The main characters are very one-dimensional and defined by singular traits.
⁕ This book does a lot of telling and not showing. Sooo many events were described passively by the characters rather than showing the reader how they reacted in the moment.
⁕ The saving quality of this book is its building of anticipation and mystery, especially towards the end.
