I think that conceptually, this book is really interesting and I do appreciate the world building. However, I think the characters and the writing lacked pretty significantly, it felt a little bit like the world was too big for the book. The main barrier is the amount of characters that were focused on, i think 1-2 characters to focus on would’ve been better. The problem is we couldn’t see some of the character development and it ends up happening off page. If the characters were either given a bit more time to breathe (the book is weirdly kinda short) or if there were less characters to focus on, I think it would be wayyy better
