Although this is set in a fictional world, I recognize the Asian influences the author incorporated.
The topics of classism, racism, and prejudice are well-handled in this novel and I look forward to what developments come in the rest of the series.
With a slow to medium pace for the first 75% of the book, the last quarter was quick-paced and came to a satisfying conclusion for a book series.  No blood-boiling cliffhangers but the promise of more to come.  And an adorable surprise too!
