The book is excellent. It's a slow start, the first half is setting up the world, and a bit about the characters. The main story gets more active about midway through, and then it's absolutely gripping. The world building in the beginning can feel a bit slow, and there are a lot of characters being introduced, but later on, the world building, setting up the context is really helpful. I loved that there were so many characters that we got to experience, and see the story through. The author did a fantastic job with letting us connect with all these different characters, without it feeling overwhelming or too much. Also, IT'S SO POLITICALLY RELEVANT!! I really cannot recommend enough
