4.5

 This was quite similar to A Memory Called Empire, but with a lot more physical action and a protagonist who wasn't enamored with the empire she was pulled into. As a first novel it is a little rough around the edges, and there could have been more support for some of the motivations, but it was still enjoyable.
Another positive - If you are striking out when trying to explain microaggressions to someone who just doesn't get it, have them read this book.
