5.0

Another masterpiece by M. L. Wang.  After this book, she’s a day-one purchase for sure. This is a standalone book that reads incredibly fast. It’s similar in setup and themes to something like Babel by RF Kuang, but with a sharper focus on intersectionality. The world may not be as deep considering the page count, but the real-world analogs are obvious. The characterization is strong though, and the plot and ending feel earned.
