The book touches upon multiple interesting questions around globalization, racism, placed in an alternative 19th century. It goes through a series of moral dilemmas throughout the plot and some good twists.
But it is all a bit too smooth and pleasant, while being relatively long. If it was shorter I'd think it targets young adults, at this length I am not sure.
But it might be a much needed book to put into literature discussion clubs for teenagers, but I read it with some interest and I am 40 yrs old.
