I am obsessed with this series. Just like Gideon the Ninth, this book has a slow start but the payoff in the last third of the book is more than worth it. I wasn't too keen on the second person narration when I began the book but I got used to it after a few chapters. I was pretty confused for the first third of the book but I had fun picking apart the mystery. I feel the author does an amazing job of hiding hints or meaning in even the simpliest of interactions so I was gripped even before the big reveals began. I did find the vaguenes  of the end of the novel a bit unsatisfactory but I am excited to see where it leads in Nona and Alecto.
