Really enjoyed this book. In some ways it's a classic space opera but there's enough twists on the formula that it feels super fresh. Fascinating explorations of identity, language, and class. The writing was fun and engaging, I ate this book up.

Just incredible. Pretty rare to find such and imaginative and rich world built into such a compelling narrative that is SO FUN. It's funny, heartbreaking, action-packed, mesmerizing, and thoughtful all at once. Can't wait to read the rest.

To quote a friend “the amount of escalation in this series is breathtaking”. I couldn’t agree more. The layers of metaphor mix with action and intrigue and the world building immense. Loved it.

I can't describe the depth of emotions this made me feel. It is the kind of writing I want in my life all the time, the way music criticism should be written, the way cultural criticism should be approached. Cannot recommend enough.
