4.0

The characters and the tight, complex and very personal plot are what makes this novel so fantastic. I suffered with Hilo, Lan and Shae on every step of the way (while shouting at their decisions every other page). Their problems and inner struggles felt so, so real and devastating.

4 stars simply because I personally don't connect to politics in fiction all that well and struggled at times to stay focused.
