5.0

This was so different from the first book in the series, but still so great in it's own way.
It's much slower paced (as many others have mentioned, there's a lot of tea drinking) and instead of a revenge-driven action plot, it's more of a reflective cultural analysis looking at colonisation, class differences, and justice.

I was very surprised to find myself crying at the end of this. It snuck up on me!
