Excellent book, good enough to overcome my natural hatred for the author using the old “everyone the main character meets knows this super-important thing about him but I'm going to keep it from the reader for reasons” trope. It wasn't the worst example of that ever, but it literally colored every single thing the main character did throughout the book, so it was referenced constantly. And thus the fact that we have zero idea what it is.

Still worth a read though. I just wish it had been structured differently so I wasn't slightly annoyed throughout the entire book.
