A Fire Born of Exile by Aliette de Bodard

adventurous challenging dark emotional hopeful tense medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? Yes
• Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

5.0

the xuya universe is one of my absolute favorites for richness & texture, & this story is gorgeous.

i guess i'm going to have to read the count of monte cristo
