Wow. Eminently readable, with a lush and wondrous (dark) world (being set inside a prison and all). A steady string of well integrated twists and turns, culminating with an absolute jaw dropper on the final pages. There to shed half the book, minimum, in new light. 

This is a book that will give again on the reread, for sure. 

A first in series that confidently stands alone while also leaves you scrambling for the sequel. 

Superb use of textual format and some stunning lines, not to mention a real array of characters, including explicit canonical wlw and amputee. 

Could barely put this book down, and even this scattershot review is after a solid 1( minutes of awestruck space staring upon finishing. 10/10 recommend.
