I am simultaneously very happy with the decision to request an e-arc of this and also mad at myself because I LOVED this book and now I have to wait until MARCH to get my hands on a copy!

This was SUCH a fun read... there was not one single scene or chapter or moment that felt superfluous or like it was dragging on... and I could see everything happening SO VIVIDLY. Chakraborty really wrote the hell out of this book.

I loved the characters, specifically the Marawati crew and their dynamic together -- top notch!

I could see everything in this book -- the environment, the characters, the action-- SO vividly... and not because it was overly descriptive or anything. It was just... efficiently descriptive? I loved it.
