Just finished reading this. The ending felt like getting decked in the face and thrown to the pavement in the best way. I shouldn’t have decided to finish this at 2:20 AM because the sheer excitement coursing through me over the sequel is going to keep me up for like a week. The exposition is very well done, you get a fantastic feel for the world without ever being overloaded or the exposition feeling forced. I personally loved the three main characters. There’s a ton of stuff I’m neglecting to mention that I might come back to edit in but those were some of the big ones.
