Too Like the Lightning by Ada Palmer

4.0

Very dense and a very complex world, which may turn some folks off. Once you get through the first quarter, it flows more. Themes are around core identity, what is gender, nationality, family, and religion? How should. Time be rehabilitated? What is democracy?

Some sloppy editing in some points, but some compelling characters that made up for it. (That first quarter is hard though - expect to reread some parts - there is a payoff later)
