 This one was a bit of a roller coaster. At first, I was mostly engrossed and interested in what was happening, but I got bored about halfway through and had to force myself to keep reading. I’m really glad I did, because I loved the ending and the final act of resistance. I think I mostly felt like this was half-finished. It almost felt like there wasn't enough world-building in the beginning so I had a really hard time pinpointing what was happening and what Bird's life looked like. The flashbacks of Bird's mother and her life before her arrest were definitely a strong part of the book.
