Excellent debut! I can't wait to read the sequel. When I first started reading, I thought that certain plot points were unrealistic, but as the plot unfolded and more facts emerged, it all made perfect sense. I love how intricately woven this story is, with well-rounded characters, a strong Asian female lead, and heart-wrenching relationships. I thought that the world-building and the visuals were well-developed, and as I read it during a week of thunderstorms, it wasn't hard to imagine the plot unfolding above me. It's a story about learning from your mistakes, being brave, and choosing the path of honor, even in Catch-22 circumstances. Beautiful work!! I first read a library copy, but I will be purchasing one of my own soon.
