4.0
Struggled with the first third of this book primarily because I read it 10 pages at a time over Christmas, but once it gets going, it really gets going.
I could have used a little more explanation about what the fuck everything in the world building meant, but also I hate when authors treat you like you're not smart enough to work it out. Go figure.
Otherwise really gripping examinations of empire and colonialism, and what would happen if the wheel stops turning (or if the spokes had different ideas about the way the wheel should turn).
