I think I expected this book to be more than it was.
The selling point for me was really the murder mystery which was probably the best aspect of this book. I loved the futuristic elements of it in terms if evidence etc and also how the different cultures connected with this.
In terms of the other stuff honestly I didn't find it interesting enough to care too much. I wanted to stop reading at the beginning but then the murder happened and peaked my interest. I think I had too much trouble getting to grips with the peace talks and the relevant things surrounding it.
I just think that without the context it was a pretty complicated and big story to fit into a short book but I didn't hate it so yeah.
