What a fun scifi about memories and who people really are. I loved the different factions and will probably continue on, but don't feel that I *need* to because this book let me know what every faction was about despite only giving me context clues. So well written and what a fun world to build. I loved how the Xoku (?) were just brainrot gamers, the Sovernost (?) were the exact end of "a million of myself" and the Martians were representing tradition, even if that tradition was made up.

The twists didn't feel super... twisty just because
of course every main character is somehow related
but I still thought they were set up well. I also really didn't care about Jean le Flambeur that much but that's okay because the supporting cast was amazing! I want to learn more about Miehle (?) and her culture

Also the ship is best girl I love her
