I really wanted to like this book but honestly it did feel very debut-esque. The world was not fully developed and I found it quite confusing. Similarly, the characters are supposed to be relateable/you are supposed to root for them but at the end of the day it’s a colonization story and even the “best case” scenario wasn’t rootable for. I also just found Touraine so unbelievably grating as a character. I was thinking it would be lots of spying and espionage but her version of spying is just making dumb decisions without thinking and bouncing back and forth between the groups.
