Really love the Xuya universe - the more you read the series, the more you flesh out your understanding of the worldbuilding and it's just so freaking cool! Vietnamese history inspired scifi with sentient spaceships, what more could you want? I always love reading the descriptions of settings (overlays lend themselves to some really cool things) and as ever her descriptions of food are mouth-watering.
The plot of this one isn't my favourite in the series - I tired of how much of it revolves around two seemingly intelligent women just virulently hating each other and arguing. I think I prefer the ones that are more mysteru-based or more explicitly political. This has made me want to reread The Citadel of Weeping Pearls because I can't quite remember the role Linh has and it was one of my faves from the series so far.
