Throughout my read, I really felt Sonya, as she was telling her story.
Sonya’s characterization was interesting to me, I really liked seeing her change throughout the story.
The plot may be a bit slow but you really feel immersed - it is also well set up. It was a great story: the more you read, the more you understood both the old and the new regime, the connexions, the twists.
It is also quite interesting to show the “after the fall” of a dystopian system, instead of the revolution, because so much is still left to do: how do you deal with the supporters of the old system, how do you deal with trauma, how do you deal with the rebuilding?
And is the new regime better than the previous one? How do you define that? So many questions :)
I personally really liked the end, I felt it was quite fitting both for the story and Sonya.
