4.5
The main reason it’s not 5 is because of a honestly pointless sex scene and quasi romance that felt shoehorned in and entirely out of place. Otherwise I really enjoyed the book. The world building could have been slightly more fleshed out, but I don’t think it ruined the experience. We learned enough and could fill in other things as needed. I found the characters grey, which makes them very compelling. And it did keep you guessing.
